Somebody Help me Please

Last year, the year before, as long as  I can remember

The pain of abuse has been all around me

My voice was never heard 

I tried explaining but

Not a sentence could I complete

I grew up feeling so much resentment

I was misunderstood

Left broken, and hoping for a listening ear

I was always silently screaming inside

Somebody help me please

I need to let go of the pain, and hurt

I don’t know how to do it

I close myself off

But I still hear and feel the past chasing after me

They say I must forgive

How do I do that

When the pain, and hate grow inside of me

Somebody tell me how

I need to get away

I need to be free

I need to be healed

Somebody help me please
