The night was cold, the feeling numb
My heart was pounding faster than an old bongo drum
My body was torn and my hope was shed
I lay motionless as my face bleeds crimson red
He stands over me and starts to yell
We see now trust is nothing but an empty shell
I start to rise but Im knocked back down
Down into this hell into which Ive known
This is not my home, its but a lie
I feel the hate in his hands, and the fire in his eyes
A family, a distant memory
Memories of serenity never acquired
Forced to change myself for his meaningless approval
He's a drunk, a whiner, and a liar
Empty promises flourish his forsaken soul
In this house we are all trapped in an endless cycle
A cycle of torture, with scars that will haunt me whole
Closed fists strike my swollen face
Like a bullet shot from the gun without a trace
Lies consume our home as shadows swollow our pride
Rising up against this pain, falling as hope continues to fade
As I piece together this puzzle of fate
There is a hero inside I have yet to create
Author notes
This is the origin of this hero
