 A New Woman

Written at 19 years old

I felt like the only way to get what i wanted
Was to grow up 
Having not realized i already grew up 
Kids aged ten hadn't lost a parent
Nor did they know what not to mix with bleach 
Some didn't even know how to fry an egg
Let alone make a plate of spaghetti 
Or dessert and keep things in line 
Paying the bills and nurturing a sick mum 
Looking after a younger sibling and keeping him inline 
Growing up quickly didn't get me what i wanted
I'm in a bad relationship filled with abuse 
I can't seem to leave him 
I guess i'm feasting on the affection lost from my dads death 
A full time student struggling with a partner that doesn't even feed me
Freezing me to death and treating me like a piece of meat 
I deserve better, but i find it so hard to leave 
I wonder had i not opened up about child abuse i didn't even tell my parents would he be different
Is he taking advantage and why am i always losing it 
Always crying and depressed and getting angry 
I grew up quickly, but i still need to grow as a person 
Its so much pressure being in this position and how everyone expects me to act
