Survivor

When you look at her, You'd think you'd find her face under true happiness By the way she brightens up the room with her smile And turn your frown upside down, Only to hear the sound of her soft sweet laughter That you can only adore in this world of silence, With a voice that can't be forgotten And is listened to when hearing a beautiful melody, By the way her head is held up high While the sway of her hips sings beautiful musical lyrics, But what lies under the beautiful brown skin of hers is a hurt woman That can't find it in her heart to yell out the words of hated love Only because shes frightened of his attack to come again With painful memories running through her mind, And then it happened again He yells at her, she yells back He back slaps her Threw her in the room Began to suffocate her while choking her, Thoughts of having one more breath to take runs her mind Then he pulls his arm back and punched her Leaving her body black and blue, bleeding purple while her face swells up with tears And to think that no one listens and cares She finds that voice in her heart and begins to yell, "He says he love me But yet beats me I'm sorry I never told you But I wanna be just like you and survive too"
