My children will be happy again
I used to live under a rod of iron
Ruled by fear and hate
Needing to be seen and helped
But tearfull it would come too late.
The day came I became my own rescuer
I fought for my life and won
Tentatively took a breath of free air
The new start had begun
Memories buried so deep and dark
Were ripe to be picked but where to start
My heart found a love from a honest man
Whos shown me love can be natural
If not always planned.
I never let the memories better me
I make new ones that bury the past
Building the foundations of a family
One that I know will last
The day my children were crying
My heart sank because u knew
The monster had reared his ugly head
And there was nothing I could do
My children’s fear runs through me
I know it oh so well
The feeling of wanting to be free of him
And having nobody to tell
Tears have been shed through his actions
Hurt and blame hit hard
But me I feel like I failed them
I feel as weak as a playing card
I did my best to protect them
I showed them that there is a price
For every action he caused that hurt them
All the time my smile like ice
Today I was told its not good enough
The monster walks around to be
I had to answer my childrens questions
On how he could be free
The rage in my veins burns brightly
It dances in my eyes that cry
It is not fair my children suffer
All because the Monster lies
I gave my children strength and courage
To get through this nightmare pain
And in spite of him and the hurt he brings
My children will be happy again
