knock at the door

*Not everyone has to go through these struggles Accusations,  lies and broken glass rumbles Tempers that flare Parts eveywhere Yelling and banging The neighbors must stare They wonder how a girl like me could fall for this trick The promises have all made me quite sick Name calling,  ranting,  interrogations and such Have left me to feel like O' quite the 'duck' But it's my history that has left me scarred and flawed One which has come back and opened a door A door for a future that is peaceful and sweet One which I have yet to meet But I'm on the brink, with the knocker in my hand Just about ready to take my final stand Look my history dead in the eye I'm finally ready to get over this high "I'm all grown up now can't you see" Then close the door "Stop fucking with me" It's time to stop repeating the  mistakes of others For the love of god I don't want to be my mother*
