I am trying to clean up my act But I'm not sure how, that's a fact Been like this since my first breath Change, can try if you think it's best He came in, told me I'd always be a loser Always an attitude, dumb to the bone for sure Don't want to talk about it, you don't understand Just take and take, never giving a helping hand As I stand there I'm sure I'm naked Stripped bare by words then left for dead My insides wrenched from me, must be bloody Can't understand, hurting words, my mind muddy I'm dragging myself away like a kicked dog So much pain from words, mind in a fog No more, no more, please, no more I have to leave forever, close that door Sometimes I think it was all a dream Words like razors, still stupid, always the scream Just want some quiet, can't hear to think Afraid of shadows, it could all be back in a blink His anger now my little one feels As she tries with grown-ups to deal Now she is told, lose that attitude fast Your just like your Mother, the die is cast His anger over his failings ever growing He can't grow enough, his childishness showing Big of mouth, small in caring or giving To his son what message is he sending Time is blowing away the hurting words These two grow stronger while he gets worse The scars don't show except in their eyes While, another chance, forgive, he always cries I know all this, too, will pass as we grow But it's hard to see my little one try to cope Can't he see his words are killing any love When he is alone will he remember, gone by his shove Mother passes strength to her daughter Always there if she should faulter His attitude his own birth defect All change for him, his mind is set When all have left and he cries, Why Just a bad day or just words is his cry His lost loves, the brused ones healing Starting over, looking ahead, sharing feelings |

It seems extremely well-told such pain this cycle inflicts I truly hope those that live this get beyond it and find a method of loving the person but staying away |
