Home

Wake me up inside
this nightmare needs to end
filled with abuse, hatred, and fear
I can no longer defend.

Defend myself from all the pain
the torture and the hurt
the feeling that no one cares
the feeling that no one's alert

Don't worry about me
I'm fine
Its what I tell everyone
I doubt they know I'm lying

I used to think my life was bad
but that was before this
before the screaming and yelling
before the flying fists

I need someone to help me
to get me away from this place
"home is where the heart is"
more like living on a military base
