You are the reason I stay
The reason I'm still here today
For you, I brave her torture
And even with a tumor
She still knocked me down
But I will not break down
"Ugly, fat, stupid, thick
Uhhh, you make me sick"
Words used by she
my mother who hates me
I nearly took my life
but I couldn't use the knife
I couldn't be like her
so now my armour is stronger
I will win this battle for us three
Just watch and you will see
Protecting Sisters From Abusive Mother
My True Friend
