Painful Memories
I remember back when I was young
The way that I was raised
Too little I accomplished
Too little I was praised
Stepping stones and hinderences
Were things I grew to know
Survival was the game to play
When loneliness took hold
Unsure of which direction
To travel upon the road
I reverted back to momma
But her laden became my load
Mentally I've been challenged
Emotionally I've been drained
Physically withdrawn
To knowing only pain
When will I be set free
To live a life of love
When will I be given
What I'm deserving of
