My daughter, Amber, wrote this last night when she couldn't sleep, it comes from her heart and pretty much says what her life has been like... I love her so much.
Pull up a seat, unwind and listen
I got a story to tell you
Always getting that special attention from daddy
Not knowing any better, hiding in fear and confusion
Seeing those marks and bruises
Hearing those screams and cries
Than I turn around thinking it gets better
Waking up in a strange bed, tangled in strange sheets
My pillow wet from my tears
My throat aches from my screams
Strangers walking in, telling me to call them mom and dad
Little brother is all I've got left
Promised him, id never leave, itd always be the two of us
Grew up in the fast lane
Watching over the little one
Protecting him with all my strength
Homes go into the review mirror
Not a thing called Home Sweet Home
Got on my kbees and prayed to god, begging for my mommy back
He gave her to us but only to make us leave once again
Being touched and hurt by the ones I thought I could trust
Still playing mommy while mommy playing teen
Eventually she learned the hard way and got her senses back
Begging and crying to god I gave up, putting the faith into mom
And now were a family once again and with a better dad.
I was the teen and mom was the mom
Still protective of the little brother
Making memories with the friends
Forgetting the past, believeing it was finally over
But got a call on valentines day back in '09
Telling us you were dead, I just smiled and laughed
Thanking god once again for taking you away
Years have passed and I still think of you,
disgust and hatred is all I have
But Id love to thank you and the others
You've made me strong
Now imma independent mommy
Glad that you'll never meet her
And the haters just keep hating
Learn my story before you play judge
You cant get far being a hater
So flip your life And do the opposite
I wont judge you cause I only know your name
