Solace and Peace

another black eye
another tear,
how will i make it through the year?
i try to scream
i try to fight
try to resist with all my might,
a broken nose
a swollen jaw
too embarrassed to go to the law,
a bust finger
scrapped up face
oh how i want to leave this place,
broken glass at my feet
solace and peace i shall seek,
an empty bottle
a puddle of blood
my year is over
now i'm with god.
