Those Other Times
Those times you used to beat on me
broken ribs, bruised back and I was angry
I remember those days when I felt so weak
you used to hide the marks I had on my cheek.
My loved ones never knew about the scars
until you beat me and took things too far
I was in a coma for days and weeks at a time
to where I woke up and I saw the signs.
You said you wouldn't put your hands on me
though it was clear that I was your enemy
isolating me from my family and my friends
to the point where the beatings wouldn't end.
I opened my eyes and I saw the light
by staying with you, I wasn't treated right
you broke my legs to where I couldn't walk
but you're scared now cause I'm ready to talk.
