I'm OK

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother’s face
Everytime my father’s fist would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon

I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it’s you that helped me put up all these walls I’ve built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming please no more
Daddy, don’t you understand the damage you have done
To you it’s just a memory, but for me it still lives on

Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I’m ok
I’m ok



The pain remains, but I choose to let all those memories go, because they cause me fear. Yes, the things that put me down are still there, and there are even more things waiting for me somewhere in a dark corner of this world, but right now, in this second of my tormented life, I want to be ok and I am ok, and that's all that matters. You still don't want me, I still don't know what I'm going to do about my life, I still fear many things, but life passes me by and I'm wasting it. Depresion continues, but at least I know is going to stop in some moment. Somehow I know I'm ok
