I've Been...



I’ve been blessed, I've been blessed.
But yes through all the heartaches
Through all the stress the support & advice,  
I didn’t take, nevertheless through the late nights
Them, being my awake nights. Crying and praying
For the strength to walk away
I’ve been through some things.
I’ve been beat on, spit on.Pushed against walls.
Eyes blackened and circled with rings.
I’ve been stomped on floors, nose bleeds
body ached and sore, Felt like I was living a bad dream.
Floor full of neighbors, but no one knocked on my door. But! Was quick to ask me what happen,
knowing their noisy asses
