TODAY
Today my life changed at the hands of one terrible man
One terrible man who forced his way in to my life because he felt like he can
Today I am dealing with fear and I am positively scared
I am feeling lost and confused with all my soul bared
Today I am being interviewed in a room by the police
They are just trying to do their job but all I want is peace
Today I'm out of control; I don’t know what I'm doing
I feel the pain and the anger inside me bubbling and brewing
Today I made some stupid mistakes and met a guy I thought was nice
He made me special and loved but little did I know that would come at a price
Today he hit me for the first time and I ran home and told my mum
I battled with myself and I hated myself; how could I be so goddamn dumb?
Today I went back to that guy, he hurt me but I still missed him
Behaviours carried on and my broken beaten soul started dimming
Today it got too intense and my mother and I had to run
It had got to that breaking point where I realised I was absolutely done
Today I said goodbye to my father as we journeyed away from this place
A huge move for my life and one I will forever try to do with grace
Today I started college in a new city and I have never felt so low
I stick out like a sore thumb, I am alone, there is no one here I know
​
Today things started to change and I now have a glisten of hope
I am starting to feel strong and I feel I can somehow cope
Today I met my best friends; four kind souls who saw the light in me
For the first time in what must be a year I feel I am finally free
Today I started university in a new city and in a new home
So many new faces and names and places to explore and roam
Today I met my boyfriend and he swept me off my feet
He made me feel like a queen and is forever undoubtedly sweet
Today I have an amazing job and I love what I continue to do
I am stronger than I thought after everything I have been through
Today I realised where I am and what I have overcome
I feel in mind I am fine and my heart starts to beat like a drum
Today I am the woman this world has turned me out to be
I have loved and learnt, cried and hurt, but now I finally see
Today I am me and today I am free
Today I am blessed that I’m right where I need to be
