Let Me Be (submitted for worst family competition)

Let Me Be  
 
Mom and dad chemically dependent  
Dad tried to convince me, daddies train their daughters for a husband  
Cast aside for having darker skin, still having a slave mentality  
Drunken bouts, envies and rages  
Succumbing to verbal abuse in all its stages  
Nowhere to run, no damn where to hide  
Holding all this anger and madness inside  
Verbal now turns to physical, slaps constantly across my face  
Everyday I woke up, I considered a disgrace  
I thought stupid Bitch was my name for years  
Every night I cry to GOD with many tears  
Why did you curse me with such horrible family trash  
No more suffering will I do, my wrist I will slash  
Alas I awake to realize I did not succeed  
I am more suicidal and truly in need  
Of help, from who? Not a soul to trust or depend  
I will try a second time to put an end  
To this torturous madness, my soul consumed  
From sun up to the light of the moon  
I arise to see I survived once again  
GOD is torturing me, I won't win  
Being/feeling rejected by family is hard to swallow  
It can cause a withdrawn existence, numbness, even hollow  
I allowed them at one point to consume me  
No longer, F*** you all, let me be
