There is a point when tears
are only water
when you are but a person
and can't hurt me anymore

there is a point when I fall
hallow wings of useless lightness
I watch you smile as I sink
laugh as I drown

there is a point ware I beg
for your love
although you do not deserve mine
promise to be Daddy's little girl
Begging for forgiveness
when I have done nothing wrong

there is a point ware I say no to the abuse
and you laugh
because you think I'm weak
but you are wrong

I am strong
I will drown you out
I will run from you Dad
In the warmth of the dark
I will find myself
unspoiled by you

sad, yet uplifting.... inspired by in part by stories my friends have told me, but allot of it is from my own life.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
