Destiny

From the day you were born tears fell from your eyes

As the years went on so did your cries

You longed for the sound of a mothers lullaby

And even the kiss of a father's goodnight

But what you were given was a life of affliction

You would close your eyes and pretend it was fiction

You tried soothing the bruises that covered your body and soul

You just couldn't fathom how one could be so cold

As time went on you thought you had escaped from the pain

Just to fall in the arms of one more insane

After a while you could no longer bother

To call the man who had taken your innocence

Your father

It was his duty to guide and protect you

He had no right to misuse and molest you

Forced to hold shut this closet of secrets

You had no one to cease this demon

And so you suffered through repetitive penetration

Until the life of a loved one endured termination

It was then that you released the horrid truth

It was then that someone finally saved you

And now your biggest battle is the one in the mirror

The focus is now, how to heal her interior

For darling you no longer have to cry

But you must pick yourself up and wipe your eyes

The past is behind you

Your present is beginning

And you future will be a result of your personal healing
