today is my birthday i don''t feel any cheer i sit down on the bed and shed a single tear i don''t know where i''m going only where i''ve been no one is supposed to have seen the things that i have seen in my life there''s been much sorrow i need to forget yesterday and concentrate on tomorrow but the past haunts my dreams at night when i was young i didn''t scream and fight i wish i hadn''t been so weak and let you hurt my body and hit my cheek i had never heard of the word rape but i knew of the damage that it did create today i turn 37 but it doesn''t seem long ago since i was so traumatized and had nowhere to go i had no choice but to let you hurt me after all these years i''m still not free i suppose it will be the same when i turn 38 still the same person who is filled with hate i don''t trust that easy nor am i complete life is harder still when i have bipolar to defeat... |
