To Be Free Poem by Nicole Finlay

I gave you my all, you gave me nothing, you spent most of our time together cursing.
About the things you were meant to do, things that you couldn't say.
I always felt like i was getting in the way.
Maybe i was wrong to act the way i did, but you always treated me like a stupid little kid.

One punch to many, three slaps to much, i finally decided it was my time to give up..
..but daddy i loved you so much.

One punch to many, three slaps to much, do you really think i gave a f**k, about the things you used to do, the things you used to say.
Why wont you just let me go on my own way.

Now i cant breathe, now i cant think.. the only thing i can do, is sink!
Sink to the bottom of the world, No longer, daddies little girl.
But why cant you see what your doing to me?
the putting your putting me through, you have ruined my childhood.

So into the darkness ill walk on my own, once again.
Until i find something or someone to take the pain away,
until i can learn to trust again.

One last punch, one last slap..
Now its time to forget my past.
To live my life, but you wont see..

Now its time to be free, the way i was born to be!
