Just a boy
5 years old
Abused and used and broken
Hospitals, questions, medication

6 years passed,  hes doing alright
New home, better people
Until his dad decides to end his life

Didnt take much longer
Until it became too much
Weed was the vice
Forgetting my life

Summers were better
Spent with the cousins
But his memories never ended
And its hell where hes standing

He tried something new
Without knowing what he was doing
Blocked the world out
And began to touch me too

This was his life
Told it was a lie
So he passed along the message
Saying i will never be fine

The new path has shone a light
Of drugs, drinking, and touching
Because of him i understand 
All he could see in it

Pushing the pain away to another
The power from controlling
His ten year old cousin
Forgetting that time in life
Losing the rest of his family

So now im just a girl
19 years old
Abused and used and broken
Living a life of
Hospitals, questions, and medications
