Young

I was so young,
Always dealing with the lsah of your tongue.
You should have known not to lean on me,
I was just a child, why didn't you see?
All you ever saw was your pain,
Did you ever stop to think it was something I would gain?
You never though of anyone,
What about your other daughter and only son?
Everything was so wrong as a child,
I can't even remember when I smiled.
I loved you like I was supposed to,
But it was to hard for you to follow through.
You beat me with a frying pan,
I never even had the chance to gain a battle plan.
I'm safe and secure now,
But when I was a kid,
This was something you wouldn't allow.
Things for me are now different,
I can keep me and my family distant.
I no longer have to take your abuse,
For what you've done there is no excuse.
So as an adult I can walk away,
And live my life day to day.
