Let Me Be (submitted for worst family competition)
Let Me Be
Mom and dad chemically dependent
Dad tried to convince me, daddies train their daughters for a husband
Cast aside for having darker skin, still having a slave mentality
Drunken bouts, envies and rages
Succumbing to verbal abuse in all its stages
Nowhere to run, no damn where to hide
Holding all this anger and madness inside
Verbal now turns to physical, slaps constantly across my face
Everyday I woke up, I considered a disgrace
I thought stupid Bitch was my name for years
Every night I cry to GOD with many tears
Why did you curse me with such horrible family trash
No more suffering will I do, my wrist I will slash
Alas I awake to realize I did not succeed
I am more suicidal and truly in need
Of help, from who? Not a soul to trust or depend
I will try a second time to put an end
To this torturous madness, my soul consumed
From sun up to the light of the moon
I arise to see I survived once again
GOD is torturing me, I won't win
Being/feeling rejected by family is hard to swallow
It can cause a withdrawn existence, numbness, even hollow
I allowed them at one point to consume me
No longer, F*** you all, let me be
