Moving On

Poem written for those who have moved on

Tortured, abused
By your family
Aching and lost
You can never be free

Raised in a way
You wish wasn't real
Dazed and confused
It's hard not to feel

Put throught the test
Of impurity
Always fighting against
Your insecurity

The pain you have felt
When your loved ones were lost
Makes you wish they could live
At any cost

The aching you felt
Inside your chest
Weakens you
You need to rest

They say this is love
And everything's right
But you say it's not real
And you're ready to fight

You try to speak up
And you're sent away
More hurt and abuse
Comes everyday

For years you have seen this
Day in and day out
One day you'll be free
Because your strength you have found

You flee the abuse
And you're constantly mocked
"You'll be nothing" they say
But you know that you're not

When you're finally free
You have a choice
You drown the pain
And you can rejoice

You can never forget
The pain from your past
But you have escaped it
And that feeling will last

Forget the family
The hurt and abuse
Remember, to you
They are of no use....
