Just Me, by MrsPeterson Subscribe to rss feed for MrsPeterson

Life is changing all around me
Time is flying by
Month after month I sit here
And for once I'm not going to cry

I've cried for them
And because of them
I've bled for them
And because of them

The sky seems bluer then I remember
The grass is a little greener
My wrists have healed nicely
I somehow feel free...er

What is this that I feel
This tingle deep down inside
Could it be that I'm in pain
Could it be I'm still tied

I've looked back with no pity
I don't miss them
I don't even want to remember
I don't need them

For too long I stayed locked up
Inside my own dark mind
Until I found a place to go
A place they could not find

I ran as fast as my feet could go
Blistered and scraped
I really don't mind it
At least I can't be raped

I found a place where no one knows
A place a hide, a place to keep
In his arms is my home
A place to smile, a place to sleep

He is my savior
My one true love
I couldn't asked more of God
He listened from above

I prayed my whole life
To find a man who wouldn't hurt me
I prayed every single night
Until he came and got me

He saved me from my darkest night
And led me to the new day
He saved me from a man I dread
I'll no longer be his prey

There are times I wish I could go back
And ignore these awful men
But other times I praise the lord
That I'm alive now and stronger than I was then

A child is to be born
Another prayer so gracefully heard
He has given me a seed, and up above I have been blessed
For I will teach her to fly higher than a bird

She will never have to see what I have
She'll never have to feel my pain
For I will kick every ass
Of every scumbag who lives in vain

Come near my daughter
And I do not care if theres a cop
I will kill you in every way
Like your dirty fathers who wouldn't stop

No man will take over my life again
So just leave me be
I have everything I've ever wanted
Just my husband, my daughter and me
