I wish there was somebody I could honest tell, That the life I'm living is my own personal hell, I learnt speak aloud how I truly feel. For the hurt it would because I could never heal. I live for my family it's their life I'm leading not mine, Life flashes by me so quickly I'm running out of time, I try to please them all but I'm physically not able, In front of others I try and appear I am still stable. I will try my hardest, and try my best, But my families drama is a daily test, To check my patience in each and every way, I wish they could all just stop for even a single day. To step back and see all the pain they cause me, It’s not normality, not the way a family should be. I remind myself that this is only something I can only dream, yet to others entertaining it must seem. You see my families greatest weakness is the alcohol that they all drink, They wont admit this or take a step back and to think, its not just there own life that it does affect, It’s not a solution you know when life is all but perfect. My families poison I make sure I stay well clear, I couldn't cause that pain, not even a single tear, The black sheep of the family they all make me feel, But no matter what they throw at me I will always heal. When weakness creeps up on me down the motorway I must go, I must always stop my family from seeing how they hurt me so, The price I pay to keep my daughter free is steep, But this fight I will win, repatision I will always keep. Although the years may have stripped me slowly bit by bit, My secret inner weakness I will never allow any of them to ever hit, Shush... don't tell them, I grew stronger the day my daughter was born, I now no longer question living; I am no longer torn. I vowed to never allow my little girl to follow the life I've had, I will ensure her life doesn't turn out anywhere near quite as bad.

You Keep Me Strong Baby Girl!
