Past Memories

A memory for me
Is like a stab in the heart
A reminder
Of when I was scared
Confused
And hurt
Wondering why I was chosen
To be torchered
To be abused
When all I ever was 
Was loving
Nice 
And as sweet as possible
Cause it was not the first time I had been 
Mistreated
I wished every night
For an escape
Form the situation
I was involuntarily put in
I realized that 
Nobody was gonna take me out of it
That it was time for me
To do something for myself
And save myself
From the torcher in my life.
