He said it was a game.
So why am I the one to blame?
If I tell you he hurts my sister.
My head feels like a twister.
Would they believe me anyway?
Move on to the next day.
I go to a little place and hide away.
It all came out!
I'm full of fear and doubt.
She said I was a liar.
She knocked me down lower instead of building me higher.
She said for him to stay in for us to go.
New home and place to grow.
I was left behind.
A mother's love that was blind.
I'm a mother and I'm an adult now.
How gladly take a bow.
I'm a stronger person and mother.
Always protect my daughter and her brothers.
I will always fight these wars and scars.
But I am no longer trapped behind those bars.
