My life has not been easy
Suffering physical and mental abuse
It seemed that I was in a cage
Struggling so hard to get loose.
But I was weak and so afraid
I hid my hurt very well
Found ways to hide my bruises
There was no one I could tell.
So many prayers and so many tears
"Help me!" I would plead
My tormentor would only laugh
Enjoying that I was in need.
Where do I run or turn to
I couldn't go anywhere
And if I did, I thought to myself
Would anyone truly care?
The answer came to me one night
I was hurting and all alone
A strange emotion built in my heart
And the feeling begin to clone.
It wasn't long before I knew
That someone cared about me
It was my Heavenly Father
That I prayed to on bended knee.
He said, "leave and don't turn back"
I did as He told me to do
He led me out of the valley of death
Helped me start my life anew.
You see I am a survivor
And my future is happy and bright
I share this story to help other's
As God helped me that very dark night.
