A place
I haven’t had one of
These feelings in a long time
The type of feeling that
Takes me back in my mind
A place of hurt and pain
A place where nothing was gained
A place where old feelings
Leave me disgusted and drained
A place where time was no fun
A place where I wanted to run
A place where no one really cared
A place where love was never shared
A place where beatings were common
A place where I was told I was the problem
A place where no one ever had my back
A place where as a kid I was under attack
A place where I always had to run and hide
A place where I thanked God I was alive
A place where fear was away of life
A place where survival was just getting by
A place where abuse came from a
Man with a short fuse
