Grown up from home to home,
A new family at every place,
Stopped trying to understand,
Why I couldn't live with mom.
Drugged and wasted I always was,
Thinking of ending this hell of a life,
Tossing my life away for the thrill,
Off to a world of my own fantasy.
Standing at the edge of life and death,
Wanting to fall down in the dark but yet,
Something hold me back, what was that?
A helping hand a bit too late?
So many times again and again,
Calling for help, screamed and yelled,
None who looked my way,
So why does this hand hold me back?
Taken away from my lullaby world,
Into a new home and family,
Given rules I had to follow,
For the consequences was too hollow.
Given trust I had never had,
Letting me burst out with hateful wrath,
Then took me close and gave me love,
Patiently teaching me of another world.
I stood at the edge of my life looking down,
Thinking the fall would be such a thrill,
Now I am safe and far away,
Thinking with horror where I would have been.
My mind turned around in less then a year,
Now I am looking forward to live,
A future I have created with love and care,
This life is not so bad after all.
