Write For My Life
Pounded further into the shell you built me
To shelter me from the world
But it’s worn and weathered and I’m unprotected
I’m no longer someone’s little girl
I peek out into the unforgiving world
Hoping to see some familiar face
But I know no protection here
So began my fall from grace
I stumbled out like a newborn
Not knowing left or right
Just wobbling on my own
Into the silent night
And that’s when it all began
The teasing, the insults
The relentless pain they heave at me
And I have no haven now
For I have eyes but cannot see
They spit out clever scorn
Abuse for the soul
Addictive to them
But dug in me an empty hole
I had to fill it somehow
I just had to find a way
To find shelter again
Or maybe make the pain go away
That’s when I picked up a pen
And wrote a few lines
Maybe writing could save me
Now I write for my life.
