I Walk Away
by Theresa Bradshaw

Someday I will just walk away
from this horror I live in everyday.
No one could see or have a clue
of the awful thing to me, you do.

I've done the best to do what's right
It's never enough, I live with fright.
I have no friends, no job, no home.
I feel like the world has left me alone.

You are the one who strikes the blows
because of things I should have known.
My eyes are black, my lips are sore
I just can't live like this anymore.

I live with the anger, hurt and more
In the name of love, you've dont this before.
My body and mind are tired of the beatings,
of living each day so hurt and defeated.

I will not be beaten and hurt again.
I deserve so much more, in order to win
for I am to live and to go on
I walk away now, good-bye, so long.
