Because of you.

I’m shutting down, I’m falling out, I’m letting go, I will not shout, I’m on the floor, I’m black and blue, My heart bleeds, Because of you, I fix my heart, I stand up tall, I stand before you, I will not fall, You shout at me, Say what you will do, But I am deaf, Because of you, I stare you in the face, I refuse to be weak, My mouth is taped, I can not speak, You throw me down, You’re strong, it’s true, But I’m now stronger, Because of you, You break my spirit, You pull my hair, I am only three, This is not fair, I try to scream, But the tape is like glue, Help is now gone, Because of you, I fall again, give up, I’ve lost the fight, I am weak, You were right, You said I would fail, Well that’s not true, You failed instead, All because of you! I wake up now, It was just a dream, A memory in the night, Of how I used to scream, I am free now, or so they say, But I still remember, I do, I am always scared, Because of you!!
