I Wanted To Scream
They tell you to fight back
They assume you can
They want you to tell them
But I was only 8 when it started
He told me to shut up
He told me he'd kill my family
He told me I was nothing
And so I believed him for the next 2 years
I was a freshman in high school now
I had no respect for myself
I thought I was worthless
I had forgotten how to love myself
I was scared to tell anyone
She tried to take her life
She got help
She slowly got better
She found a way to love herself again
She is truly alive now
She is me
