Again
Here I am again
In a pin
Someone on top with a grin
I’m on the floor
I’m angry to the core
Why won’t you help
You’ve watched this happen
Why can’t you step in
You swore an oath
This isn’t something growth will change
Can you see me hang my head in fear
And hear my tears
On the nights that I can’t hold them anymore
I don’t feel safe
In my own home
Thats something that shouldn’t occur
Can’t you see this is becoming a chore for me?
Sometimes I just want to walk right out the door
Just for me and only me
I need to protect me
This could wreak my life if I don’t
I know the feeling of neglect
This is something that needs to become correct
Not something that just needs to be checked
This affects me
I know what is right
and this is incorrect.
I am not a defect
And let me tell you now
I’m not a suspect
Nor am I just a spect on this planet we call Earth
