All I've ever known


I sit in their office 

and tell them my story

as they sit and watch feeling sorry

they say my story isn't over

and my journey has just begun 

but who are they to say my battle is done 

and I have won?

Because as far as I know

damage has been done

and has taken me away from trusting anyone

I often doubt of ever getting out

so I take the easy way out 

Drugs

Sex

and lonely nights

They  say I need to fight, 

fight through all the shame

but every time I fight 

I find myself face to face

with myself 

And go back to the only thing I've ever known

and that's being all alone.

I'm 15, young but i'm an old soul. I've been through a lot and once upon a time that was what destroyed me. Now I've learned to use that to the best of my advantage and to help others also.
