I'M ALIVE

I was something kept around
Something to be used
I had no other purpose
Than to be abused
I couldn't tell my parents
They aready knew
They protected the abusers
There was nothing I could do
I learned to hide inside myself
Imagine a boundary in my mind
And try to make some kind of sense
For the craziness of mankind
My mind, built a fortress
To protect me from breaking apart
Though the abusers kept abusing
They couldn't break down my heart
I run inside, to where it's safe
In the fortress of my mind
I may have shut myself inside
But I have never once been blind
So don't you tell me, how to feel
Don't tell me what to see
I'm still alive, still fighting
Until one day, I shall be free
