My Truth


i wanted to leave at only thirteen and maybe i would have if you didn't threaten to kill me once i tell everyone what you do to me they laugh, yes, but still they believe it you never want to hear what's true even when it's right in front of you you win, i guess you have gotten what you wanted have you not? i sit there and beg for you to change but you're not going to i will never understand why i keep going back everything you do to me it's as if you do it for the purpose of my pain so when i dont want to return why do you say God's judgement will rain is it insulting to hear the truth or do you simply fear admitting it? you tell me God will judge me but im inclined to believe He values honesty but go ahead and deny it all you want it will not change the fact that you are abusive and mean or that you only care about what others say not what you 'believe' hypocrite, please stay just away i am not the problem and if i am let me stand before the Almighty and tell Him my truth the one you refuse to acknowledge the one that is physical and evident in my manner and the way i function and on my skin and if it turns out that i lied then let me sin knowing i refused to back down from the truth and that i dont care what you think
