My life has changed since childhood I don’t remember who I was But in an instant I grew up Faster than everyone else Now I’m standing here 18 and already I’ve seen enough hatred in the world Enough abuse and torture But without the lessons I wouldn’t have turned out to be who I am today Strong Independent Ready to be seen I just wish things had turned out better That now I wouldn’t be living in fear But I am I’m too scared to go to school tomorrow Look him in the eye And act normal As if nothing happened He raped me What is normal about that? I wish I could disappear But again, I can’t I’m that ‘Tough Girl Sam’ that everyone talks about Who smiles no matter what I know what people will do tomorrow What they do every day They smile at me Tell me I’m such a sweetheart Such a good friend So perfect Perfect body Hair Personality I wish they’d stop saying that Cause I never was, never will be Specially not now My innocence has been taken from me There’s nothing else left But this broken heart Empty tears Lonely person Trying to reach out for someone But all she gets back is abuse But I’m glad that you’re willing To listen Like no one else has ever tried So that I can tell you what’s going on Inside.Birth sign: Scorpio
