“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

I am broken.
I didn't just leave.
I ran as fast as I could,
away from there.

I am broken.
No one believed,
what horrible things they did.
If I show you the bruise
that has never left.
Would you believe?

I am broken.
I left because they beat me up.
They kicked my shins.,
pushed me into the desk,
and beat me with a crutch.

I am broken.
They broke me.
That's why I left.
That's why I ran way.
