There are many explanations for who I am Reasons why I am the way I am I lived a complicated life in a simple way I don't know how I ever did I tortured myself in silence for acts I committed And the little girl in me screams in pain To be allowed to live again Because she was suppressed so long ago She speaks in riddles Her words get in my way Because of evil acts of abusive hatred How can anyone ever truly get over that? How can a girl shake that demon? There's nothing anyone can do to help I'm beyond the aid of the world I'll be haunted forever by this ghost of lifetimes past But surely my scars will have healed by now Because I've learned to accept what's been done No one will ever know I, myself, will never know Because the pain will only follow on Casting a continuous shadow over me
