The Reminder

I try to let go of the pain
But unreality yanks my chain
Trying to tell me it's a joke
Gone in a puff of smoke
But I know it's not true
From my broken point of view
The pain is embedded in my soul
It's the never ending unpaid toll
The toll for making it out alive
The toll for my soul to survive
The one I'll be paying all my days
No matter what the pain stays
But I thank God for the reminder
To treat my self a little kinder
And I pray abused souls everywhere
Learn the value of self care
Because no one will understand
You can't "let it go" on demand
