Unjustifiable

There is not a price you could pay
No amount of time you could do
Deep scars come to surface every other day 
Nothing could heal the hell you put me through

Your brother died in debt to you, was I the price to pay?
I've been imprisoned by demons you unleashed no matter what I do
Dad's suicide brought me to my knees, I didn't imagine life could get any worse then that devastating day
Your ill-intended helping hand scorched by touch breathed a far worse hell to make it through

Silence of unspeakable violence broken in hopes for simply being your daughter she too wont have to pay 
If I can help save another from the same awful fate then that's what I intend to do
How can you watch a child grow and look at them as prey? Did you think to yourself they'll reach the ripe age I crave one day?
I pray I'm not too late and no one else has fallen victim to the hell you put me though

Relationships with loved ones are a price I pay
I'm looking over my shoulder paranoid in all that I  do
I've got deep seeded trust issues to this very day
Time you cant misplace or erase so what is justice for the hell I'm still surviving through?
