When I'm With You

Folder:

A tug on the wrist

A slap on the face

Is the best I get

When I'm with you

I walk one way

And I'm shoved another

No hand to steady me

When I'm with you

I'm always afraid

To say the wrong thing

Because then you're mad

When I'm with you

I don't feel control

I can't see any other way

And alone is so much worse

When I'm with you

I can feel pain

When you hit me

When you scream

When I'm with you

For those of us who are bound by fear
