Analysis of Freedom
Janice Altschuler 1975 (New York)
Shattered completely broken
Without any words left to be spoken
What once was the innocence of a child
Has now become someone so jaded and dephiled
I am cover in ruin covered in shame
Most of all I am covered in blame
You abused me in every way
Yet I was the one that continued to stay
You said I couldn’t leave I wasn’t that strong
I finally left because I knew you were wrong
