I have been tainted

Stained to the core

My life has always been a lie

I long for something more

My soul has been shattered

My body bruised and broken

Shattered memories of the past

But not a word have spoken

My sprit has been poisoned

It is torn a frayed

No one cared about me

But you have stayed

For everything I was punished

Small, frightened and weak

Everything was forbidden

And my future seemed bleak

My courage has left me

I really am alone

No one wants to help me

All I want is a home

I am always afraid

To scared to know what's right

It's been this way for so long

And I have no will left to fight

No one understands

Or knows the real me

I've kept it hidden for so long

I just want to be free

Seems things are going right

Something is going my way

There's a light at the end of the tunnel

I'm going home today.
