My mom was a wonderful person

Codependent on a horrible loser

My stepdad was terribly abusive

He'd sneak in my room and be intrusive

My brothers he beat with a belt

Until they all had big welts

We're young we can't see the loop

Soon in life we will follow suit

I married a man who's verbally abusive

To my daughter his moods were intrusive

Why do I feel so sad

When his behavior was so bad

He would yell and scream

But I held on to a dream

I could help him shine supreme

I found there was no solution

I had to leave his pollution

Time to make a new start

Away from this man with a cold heart
