NIKASTAR

Something in my soul ain’t right
I can’t sleep at night
Something seems to hold me back
My whole life is off track
It all started a month ago
From a love I use to know
Everything seemed fine
I gave him all my time
But some how it went wrong
Black eyed and busted lip
I went home
Most of the days I stayed alone
I left my family
To start anew
But why come when I dream
I still see you
A hit, a punch, a slap to the face
Memories of you just won’t go away
As a battered (teen) female
I stand still
Body motionless
Eyes with tears
My pressure goes up
I start to scream
And my cousin ask
“Why such a scene”
“What do I say????”
That he hit me
And yours will hit you
That I am weak
“Now that I just won’t do”
So I turn to her eyes dried
Lips parted
“I miss my mom”, I started
She saw the lie and stared deep
Then rubbed my head and I fell asleep
Afraid to sleep
I finally snore
When the wind blew
A branch hit the door
“He’s coming for me”, I start again
But this time I was alone
Isaw him coming yet
I didn’t start running
“No more”, I said
This is the end
Prepare yourself for a fight ole friend
“You or ME”
One has to go
And I’m not running never no more
He looks at me hard and long
As I stood there stern and strong
He backs up and walks away
The alarm clock rings
It’s another day
