You Kill Me

You kill me

Why did you say time after time
I was worthless and blind
you beat and broke my spirit 
and crushed my virgin soul
I didn't understand at 5 yrs old
I had to lie and pretend
my life is a dream
and nothing hurts me 
your efforts will fail 
the day I awake a light I see
and grace will shine it on me
appreciate my dreams
joy and simple love 
a good life comes
are the answers from above
my soul's at stake
my life's  a mistake
and all the love 
I thought would bless
has only come 
to my digress

I survived a near fatal illness and the abuse only got worse. If I died they would be angry cause I interrupted their Tuesday.
