Scars of Abuse...

by Latasha   Apr 3, 2006


My broken tears,
Are stopped by all my fears,
I can not let anyone see my feelings,
Or the scars I fear become reality.

I wish someone knew my broken bones,
Werent from falling down the stairs,
They were from my daddy,
The powerful man everyone idolizes.

They dont see the true man,
That lies between his words,
The one that beats me,
The man that gives me little strength to carry on.

Today is the day everyone will say good-bye,
To the young girl they once knew,
The girl who always wore a smile no matter what that meant,
That young girl was me.

After a few to many drinks,
I mustve said something wrong,
To make my daddy hate me so much,
Tears were running down my cheeks.

My final words were nothing but mumbles,
No one seen my bruises,
They only seen my beautiful smile,
And my pretty face.

If only someone wouldve taken a moment,
To see all my scars,
Maybe I wouldve still been alive,
But there is nothing left of me.

Im now just a girl,
Everyone once knew,
That hid behind her smile,
To ignore the pain here daddy caused.
