Bruises

I wish this pain would end
I want the fighting to stop
Why can’t we be a family like we used to?
Why does life have to be this way?

This isn’t home
This is a battle field
No where to run
Hiding in a corner

I’m so afraid
His eyes have grown so cold
His hands have grown so hard
He’s not the man that I once knew

A demon is my daddy
Bruises fade
But the pain is still the same
When did everything become my fault?

You make me so afraid
When you put us in our place
This broken home
Can never be mended

I tell myself that you love me
That you hurt the ones you love
That I’ve been a bad girl
That this is what I deserve

My daddy didn’t do this
This is a demon
The demon in my daddy
Gave me these bruises.

I'm a girl. The only way i can express myself is thru art or writing. I think too much about a lot of things. That's all you need to know.
