So as I continue to tell my childhood

Could you say Traumas?

My childhood traumas

I want to remind you

None of this is fictional

None of this is embellished

If anything I've simplified it and made it clean and polished

Living it was hell

Telling it has been hell

I don't want pity

I just want to tell My Story

The things I lived through

And experienced

Yes I know it's a very dark one


But it's my life I can't change it

I'll embrace my pain and keep it

Because maybe that's what god chose for me

Maybe I was destined to live this life

This harsh life

So I could grow strong and be the woman

That he envisioned I could be

Or maybe it has nothing to do with any of it.


Who knows

Last Goodbye I talked about things I endured

At ages four through six

I'll try and keep going throughout my youth

If my story bores you that's fine

Just click off and move on

There's no harm done with walking away



When I was seven we moved houses again

I was in third grade, going to school with Casey


Me and my sister were in our room playing Barbies

And we had an idea  to make a 'hammock'

So we slid blankets under the rails of our bunk bed

We were laughing and having so much fun

My mom came she said we were ripping the fibers in the blankets


And had to get down and clean


So we took it down

But it was so fun so we put them up again


Started laughing and swinging

She came back

We still hadn't cleaned

She pulled us off and I don't know

Well I do she hit us both


Multiple times

For ruining her things

For not cleaning

Maybe she was just taking her anger out on us
