There was a day
I don't remember exactly when
Things at my house got crazy
Similarities run between now and then
It got pretty bad
The police showed up
They took him away for a day
And my brother ran away
I went to a friends
I guess that rule bends
I missed school the next day
Terror kept me from being ok
I still dream about it
That anger filled fit
My mom crying on the floor
The police pounding n the door
She had been the one to call them
He wouldn't even listen to them
He refused to show them his hands
That was about the time I ran
Target was just down the street
My bare feet hurt on the concrete
I called my aunt on the way
Hoping she would take me away
She is the one who called my mom
She knew that I was far from calm
It all happened so very fast
I didn't know how long it would last
I was so scared, and felt so alone
I wasn't safe in my own home
I remember him saying how sorry he was
And how he was gonna leave because
Of reasons I've forced out of my head
I spent the next day in bed
That is the start of my horrifying nightmare
But it doesn't simply stop there
It goes on, but I don't have time
To give the rest on this rhyme
Next will be my part two
There is a lot that I have been through
So much more than you would think
So many reasons I hide behind all the pink
The plastered on smiles, the make-up, the looks
Are all to cover up Scars from the hooks
The painful pieces of my past
The ones I hope don't last
Too much longer, they still go on
Though they aren't good enough to be put into song
I still will always have my words
And I will always be that same nerd
The one you saw in the beginning last year
The one you thought had nothing to fear
I had more going on than you probably thought
Like the fact that my parents always fought
And now I guess this is getting really long
I'll just stop rambling along.
