I was only 16 and I had seen you once more with your fist on my mom. Such a macho thing to do, such a savage With no remorse you beat her up I had nowhere else to go, I wasnt going to hide in the closet no more I felt that I needed to defend my mom I said, "please stop!" But you ran towards me with rage and attacked me also. You hit me hard but not hard enough I still remember that day as the tears fall down from my face I thought I had let this go I thought I was okay since you called the next day and said what you regret You could barely speak, your voice was broken I forgive you ,I do I dont know what you went through, that made this you.
