Life

I was stuck in a place of pain, torment and no end.

There was no way out, only a black hole without an end,

when was it my time to end, that's all I could think about

why was it me in this awful place, ruby red slippers I wish were in reach

I was harmed in a way I can never forget, fearing every day was the only thing in my way

your mind, your dignity completely destructed by someone you once trusted.

your words had no meaning in his eyes, all he ever did was make you cry.

my children were subjected to such misery I tried not to allow, but you've never heard him yell

once I left, that was the biggest mistake I made, it pissed him off in more ways, and I was always the blame

I tried to fight back, I never had a chance, his power was so strong, I was used to the attack

I've endured enough, I was strong this day, I took a knife and cut my way out...
