The Pain

Who am I but a broken girl
With saddening thoughts and a shattered world

Through abuse through pain through depression it seems
This life I live is not for me

No suicidal thoughts but I don't like my life
It's time to change my life tonight

I want to live as free as a bird
I want to be free of all this pain and hurt

How do I let go of animosity
Towards my mother who never loved me

Time to let go of all this pain 
In the words of Missy Elliott I can't stand the rain
