Until the day

Through my childhood
you've caused me
nothing but tears and pain

took advantage of the fact
that I didn't know any better
took advantage of the fact
that I was weak

you turned me into a monster
into someone who hated life
someone who hated to laugh
someone who hated you!

There wasn't a day that went by
that I didn't think of you
that I didn't break down and cry
that I didn't hurt myself
because the pain was so much better

I prayed quietly every night
that I wouldn't wake up again
that the pain would finally end

I was in a dark tunnel
with no way out
with no end in sight

until the day....
I said this is enough

until the day....
I fought myself

until the day....
I forgave you
