Right from
the beginning,
It was
always you and I,
You taught
me all I knew,
And watched
me as I grew
I loved my
shelter,
My cotton
wool protection,
You showed
me ‘happy’ and ‘perfect,’
And then it
was wrecked
He broke my
shelter,
He shredded
my cotton wool,
He stole my
happiness, perfection, safety and innocence,
All in an
instance
He made me
bleed,
He told me
not to tell,
Tried to
turn me against you,
But rather
than deal, I flew
You stopped
me,
You saved
me,
Brought me
back to the ground,
And made me
turn around
To face the
anger,
To face the
blame,
To the face
the pain
And learn
I’d never be the same
You gave me hope,
You taught
me determination,
You showed
me strength,
That knew no
lengths
Now we’re
facing a whole new battle,
And although
we’re still battered and bruised,
Tired and
drained,
It’s my turn
to make sure we don’t wane
I’ll give
you hope,
I’ll show
you my strength
I’ll give
you all I know,
Because it
was you who made me grow
