Labeled For Life

Since that day when you changed my self-image I will never be the same,
Look deep into my eyes and I cannot hide my shame.
I no longer cry anymore, as that will not ease any of my pain,
For because of you all my future hopes and dreams have all been slain.

I have so much hate burning deep inside of me,
My soul is trapped, never again to be carefree.
My self-confidence that no longer exists,
Keeps taunting me and the nightmares always persist.

I will feel this way for the rest of my days,
Going through life living depressed because I know no other way.
I hate how I now label myself a victim,
I strive to be a survivor but I fear this is a battle that I cannot win.

Sometimes I do not want to wake to see the light of another day,
I have lost my faith and the energy to pray.
Why do bad things always have to happen to the good people in this world?
I never had the chance to enjoy being a young girl.

My innocence was stolen at such an early age,
All the years since then I have grown up with so much rage.
