What Doesn't Kill You Will Make You Stronger

Don't touch me there is what I said As I fight you from my bed I struggled and you fought With little effort, you ended up on top I was so innocent to know such pain Too little to understand what you could gain From taking the love of a child And turning it into pain I'm grown now and you're still there You can't even see my stare The life you took is forever gone The hollowness is what lived on  Destiny gently guided my way Toward the goals and dreams of a future day Kept my head in my books, I never looked back To the pain and humiliation of my past What didn't kill me, did make me stronger But it didn't leave me much time to play That life I led wouldn't last much longer It's time I changed my life and moved away
