Be Aware (Physical Abuse)

Physical abuse has always been a touchy subject 

I hated when I'm being treated like a mere object 

I wanted to be able to be free

Free from everyone that was hurting me

I never talked about my pain

I just turned on the shower and let my tears flow like rain

There was no one I could turn to

When I was suffering from abuse

Telling anyone was really useless

It is hard living in a home that's so loveless 

I knew he didn't like me

But I always had respect

Wanted to show kindness 

Didn't want to be like the rest

The slaps I received 

No one believed 

The marks didn't last on my body

But it was there in my mind

I had to move on

Couldn't let someone try to destroy my mind

So I told myself I can turn this pain into strength 

And I put up a big wall as my defense

Don't matter what you're going through, you are a star

And if you keep going you will reach far.
