Through the Eyes of a Child

Did I do something wrong

to make you lose control?

Anger so strong or do you even know?

that when you come home

I want to run and hide

The pain is so deep

that i keep it inside

I'm not the same

because of you

Always afraid of what you'll do

If only you could see

yourself through my eyes

You’d know why (I’m

dying inside)

Sometimes I need a firm, but gentle hand

Someone who cares

and understands

that I am still learning

But I just can’t take this

abuse, from you

There is no excuse

I’m not the same

because of you

Always afraid of what you'll do

If only you could see

yourself through my eyes

You’d know why (I’m

dying inside)

This is no way to live if

you try to change I’ll try

to forgive.
