Battered and bruised
the cuts will fade but the words always stay
beat down and used
these threats just never change
the bills for life unlived are here
charged for adolescence
silly love and foolish hearts
submit to broken dreams
young love let free
all hell broke loose
death to all her stars
but one that lived
its shine not so bright
stayed to keep her sane
Freedom came
with a heavy price
something not worth giving
independence comes
forced upon its receiver
something never wanted
thoughts gone and memories dim
the break up of two lives
innocent and immature
i need you to keep on going
a daughter and her father
separated through the thrive.
