Rhyme Scheme: ABABACDDDDDEFEFEGHGH GIJIJKDJDLJLJMJMJMND JDJ| I walk through the front door | A |
| My mind is blank | B |
| Not knowing what was done the night before | A |
| And for the pain I have him to thank | B |
| At least he got his score | A |
| Right | C |
| I head to the shower | D |
| Undress and faced with a mirror | D |
| Was this all to prove power | D |
| What happened becomes clearer | D |
| Just some cuts and bruises no need to be sour | D |
| The water burns | E |
| Streams down raw cuts on my back | F |
| I scrub and still your mark returns | E |
| I squeeze my eyes shut to only see black | F |
| Eyes open and the nightmare returns | E |
| I step out look at my reflection | G |
| Who s that girl | H |
| Looking in my direction | G |
| I squeeze my eyes shut to give it a whirl | H |
| Eyes open to see no correction | G |
| I remember the first tear falling | I |
| How he dismantled my body | J |
| Soon I d be bawling | I |
| But I can t tell anybody | J |
| I had plans today | K |
| So get your shit together | D |
| My dad took off this Friday | J |
| So we could boat in such nice weather | D |
| I told myself I was fine | L |
| And put a bathing suit on this body | J |
| That didn t even feel like mine | L |
| My dad s face dropped when he saw me | J |
| Did a bear attack you | M |
| He asked carefree | J |
| because he knew that couldn't be true | M |
| But a monster had attacked me | J |
| And this I knew | M |
| I smiled back and forced a fake laugh | N |
| I told him his clumsy daughter | D |
| Had fallen from a tree | J |
| I said lets go to the water | D |
| No need to worry | J |
