You stiff my breath
Make my throat go numb
I can’t say a word
And you want me say a lot
Why do you have such cruel inflictions on me?
Is my soul not enough for you to keep
You stiff my breath
Make my throat go numb
I can’t say a word
And you want me say a lot
Why do you have such cruel inflictions on me?
Is my soul not enough for you to keep
Her life becomes a mess of
Red lipstick defenses
Red lipstick state of mind
Look but don't see
Look but don't touch
When the Swamp spoke
The whole town fell aghast
And no longer could the family
Hide it's lurid; lachrymose past
When the Swamp spoke
Skeletons surfaced one by one
As a little girl, I loved my family
Often I sat in a corner in awed silence
As I watched my father beat my mother.
Sitting, I watched the family violence.
One hit, two hit
Three hit, four
I cry myself to sleep at night, hoping I'll wake to see the light. The beautiful light so warm and so bright, but soon I sleep and relive the fright. First I feel the water so warm and refreshing, then he joins me I start regressing.
I wonder if she even cares about me?
All this name calling is wearing and tearing on my internally
My confidence level has dropped and
My the respect I have for myself is lacking
