No One Knows...
No one knows...The pain I've suffered and gone throught.
If you can't relate, maybe you can see my pint of view.
No one knows...That I was a child severely confused.
I was physically and sexually abused.
I went through yesterday what you see today on the news.
I still feel the bruise....
No one knows...That depression affected me to the core.
My emotions within me causing war.
The paranoia would be hard to ignore.
I would listen for footsteps creak outside my bedroom door....
No one knows...The extent of my distrust.
My heart did as it must and it was hard to adjust.
No one knows...That during the night I would cry myself to sleep.
The physical scars were more than skin deep.
No one knows...Those personal demons affected my courtships,
And my fear of abandonment would destroy my relationships.
No one knows...I overcame these obsticles alone.
Slowly this organ has healed beneath my breastbone.
No one knows...I long for that love and security.
I'm praying for that strong woman to come along and comfort me....
