I wandered the roads of darkness
turned heart into stone.
I've taken every hit with pride
only to stumble through life alone.
Wakeing to the sound of fighting
beer bottles that hollow the air.
Tis but one prayer I know
one that GOD restrained to bear.
Recaling the days of make believe
to excape the tragedy.
Running from this place called home
to somewhere far and free.
Once I was gone I never looked back
never did I miss the misery.
No loveing arms to hold me tight
noone there takeing care of me.
My pillow soaked in tears
my bedroom door locked with the key
Praying only for that one day..that one day to be free.

Very tenderly done.
I would pray for freedom for
every child who had to face
these thoughts.

Fortunately, I've never had ths experience but your words brought me as close as I wanna come to it.

Great poem.  Even if on such a sad subject.

 "The storm rises up when the shadows descend
every beat of my heart every day without end
I will stand like a rock I will bend till I break
till theres no more to give if thats what it takes
I will risk everything I will fight I will bleed
I will lay down my life if thats what you need
every second I live thats the promise I make"

I have no idea who wrote this... tell me if you know. =)
