Better Now

You hit me, smacked me, and knocked me down.

I walked around each day wearing my signature frown.

I thought I couldn’t leave, couldn’t do better,

I cut and cried behind closed doors, I even wrote my death letter.

Finally I realized my worth and I left you, it was never easy, you have no fucking clue.

But I now have a daughter of my own, and a man that treats us good, and together we have grown.

The world gave me what I needed to survive,

It’s a miracle I’m still alive.

My world is no longer grey,

I now smile each and every day.
