All of my life
I have been told not to cry
If I ever opened up
It would bring me pain inside
I have always been afraid
Of the life I used to lead
As I was always beaten
And all I could do was plead
The scars I have won't fade
They will stay with me always now
And I will always remember
How I barely survived it somehow
Now I finally realize
All the pain that came to me
Was worst when burned into my mind
Not something I could see
Think of me as your angel
As I watch you from above
And now I finally know
The one thing I needed was love
