This is life don't you see,
It could happen to you,it happen to me.
First it starts out with just a shout,
Then a hair pull and a slap,
After weeks and months things get worse
The bruises and feelings start to hurt
He really does love me though,you see
He won't do it again,he's sorry he hurt me
Now my children feel the pain
By staying with him,what do I gain
A lover,a friend,a companion for life
With bruises like this I couldn't be his wife
Should I leave or should I stay
With help from friends and family I can get away
I wrote this at 17 after I had my precious baby boy and realized i couldn't live that life anymore
