Innocent years of a teen
Oh, if I could have only seen
That these were the easy years
Before I''d know the pain of tears
Party after party
Good friends and fine wine
Alone in a dark room at twenty I did find
Tied and gagged
What happened to me?
All this from a man whose face I still see
I know not his name, but I felt his rage
I dare not tell,
I''m the responsible child for her age
I must have done something
I must have made a mistake
Three months later there are choices to make
If I keep it, what will I say?
I know he will ask of his father someday
I was twenty years young with a baby to raise
No time to worry with questions of somedays
At twenty-three I found love for the first time
I took his name and made it mine
I loved his daughter as she was my own
I loved this feeling of not being alone
In wedded bliss we had another
To our surprise, it was a brother
Bed rest and again, alone
He just stopped comming home
Two months early my bundle arrived
Tiny little creature, barely alive
Months of doctors and machines
Did finally bring my baby home to me
A broken marriage but I''d never leave
In hurting my children I didn''t believe
Four years of marriage with out a touch
But I loved my daughter so very much
Alcohol can bring a man to terrible things
Now I know the violence it brings
Hurtful words and painful punches
And I still longed for once loving touches
Now here I am at twenty eight
After divorce and bearing the weight
I am stronger than I have ever been
Thanks to these two lousy men
Thanks to them I have two men of my own
From whom I''ll hide the pain I''ve known
I refuse to believe this is all life has for me
I will bounce back once more, you''ll see
I''ve too much passion in my soul
To never love,
My heart''s still whole!

The emotion just pours out in this one.
Some people sometimes struggle to find what to write, I suspect that you have so much to write it's hard to know what to put in and what to leave out.
Good work
