Me


Sexual abuse
Physical abuse
Mental abuse
I've lived through it all

Times of being homeless
Times of going hungry for days
Times of no heat or water
I've managed to survive it all

Living with people, But always being alone
Living with friends, but they aren't truly friends at all
Living with family, but they act like your worst enemy
I've been through it all

Times of having things
Times of not having things
Times of seeing murders
Times of seeing lovers
I've managed to survive it all

First impressions are lasting impressions
But don't be so quick to judge me
Cause what you don't see
Is what you should see
So take a step back
And see the whole picture of me
Cause there's more to me then what you see
