Never the Same - by Debi Fisher
Life seemed so normal
but lo and behold
behind those closed doors
it was awful and cold
I always did smile
and no one did know
how terrible I felt
with every angry hard blow
But still I walked proudly
and held my head high
no one would see
how much I did cry
One family member
knew all that I hid
and she reached out
instead of flipping her lid
Today I am whole
and fight all kinds of abuse
no one should think
oh what's the use .
A group called Recovery
opened my eyes
and now I am human
and it's no surprise
A self help support group
there's more just like me
helped me to understand
and how to 'see'
A person's a person
each different than you
no one is all bad
so that's how I view
