aku!

Once upon a time there was a girl in her early years ....she had to learn how to grow up living in a war that she called home... never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm hurt me.... to see the pain across my mother's face... everytime my father's fist would put her in her place hearing all the yelling... I would cry up in my room hoping it would be over soonBruises fade father, but the pain remains the same.... and I still remember how you kept me so afraid ....Strength is my mother for all the love she gave every morning ....that I wake I look back to yesterday ....And I'm OKI often wonder why I carry all this guilt... when it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built shadows stir at night through a crack in the door.... The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more" ...Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done.... To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on till the end of the time..It's not so easy to forget all the lines you left along her neck.... When I was thrown against cold stairs and every day I'm afraid to come home In fear of what... I might see there bruises fade father but the pain remains the same.... and I still remember how you kept me so afraid strength... is my mother for all the love she gave every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday..... And I'm OK I'm OK n OK...i'm not a perfect girl..my hair doesnt always stay in place n i spill things a lot..i'm pretty clumsy n sometimes i hv a broken heart..my friends n i sometimes fight n maybe some days nothing goes right..but when i thnk about it, n take a step back i remember how amazing life truly is n dat maybe..just maybe..i like to b unperfect but just luv to be me..a simple girl wit da simple life...
