A slap in the face, a pull of the hair.
He makes me feel, like he don't even care.
My life is in danger, he says I will die.
He hurts me so much, I just want to cry.

A bruise on my face, and a broken nose.
I blame myself, for this life that I chose.
He says it's my fault, I deserve what I get.
He continues to beat me, because we're in debt.

When my bruises are seen, the stories I tell.
The stairs and the bath tub, is where I had fell.
I have seen the good, he never wants to show.
That is why, I must leave him and go.

I am scared to walk out, that door all alone.
But if I don't go, he will break another bone.
Never again, will I cry another tear.
Never again, will I live in any fear.

I wake up at night, with sweat on my face.
My heart is pounding, my pulse is a race.
I still have nightmares, but I know I am free.
When I look in the mirror, my happiness I see.
