THiS iS THE REAL WORLD

HOW MANY SLAPS ACROSS THE FACE DOES iT TAKE

FOR YOU TO REALiZE HES A FAKE

TAKE US AND LEAVE MOM, HE DOESNT LOVE YOU

BUT YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE ANOTHER DRiNK, DENYiNG THiS iS TRUE

iM NOT RUNNiNG AWAY FROM iT

BUT iM SAViNG MYSELF

CAN YOU BLAME ME FOR LEAViNG?

iTS ALL ON ME AND NO ONE ELSE

AND WHAT ABOUT YOU LEANiNG ON ME?

i WAS JUST A LiTTLE GiRL

GROW UP MOM, COME ON...

THiS iS THE REAL WORLD

WHEN HE HOLDS A KNiFE TO YOUR THROAT

AND HAS YOU UP AGAiNST THE WALL

YOU CANT EXPECT US TO SAVE YOU

BECAUSE WE KNOW HE'LL KiLL US ALL

ALL THOSE NiGHTS YOUD COME HOME FiGHTiNG

AND YOU WONDER WHY i HATE YOU

THiNK ABOUT WHAT YOU DiD TO US

YOU SHOULD HATE YOURSELF TOO

SO DiD YOU EVER REALLY LOVE ME?

BECAUSE ONCE i LOVED YOU

HES MADE YOU BLEED AND YOU STiLL LOVE HiM MORE

AND YOU KNOW THATS TRUE

BUT GUESS WHAT MOM, iM HAPPiER NOW

AND i PROMiSE YOU THAT

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i WAS WATCHiNG THiS SHOW ON LiFETiME, iT WAS ABOUT A WiFE THAT LOVED HER HUSBAND MORE THEN ANYTHiNG, EVEN THOUGH HED BEAT HER CONSTANTLY AND WOULD THREATEN HER LiFE. THEY HAD 3 KiDS AND iM WRiTiNG THiS POEM FROM THE OLDEST CHiLDS EYES. i LOVE CLOSiNG MY EYES AND TRYiNG TO PiCTURE MYSELF iN OTHER PEOPLES SHOES, LiKE FROM MOViES AND BOOK. MOST OF THE TiME iLL END UP APPRECiATiNG THE LiFE THAT GOD CHOSE FOR ME.
