The World Changed by Seizure

There was a time in my life, I thought I knew it all
I had figured it all out, my life was in a stall
I stretched out my arms, as I looked up to the sky
I had it figured out, so I held my head up high
I was marching around, everywhere I went
Knowing god damn well, what my life had meant
I finally became wrong, when my father returned home
He became abusive, then I wrote my first poem

My world had changed, nothing was the same
I got to the point, I'd question the blame
Was it me that did it? Did I deserve all that?
My father seemed to think so, with an aluminum bat
My self esteem had dropped, I made it to the edge
Of finally snapping, as I walked up to a ledge
I peered over the side, the ground was so far down
This is what I wanted, but I couldn't wipe my frown

Now the wind picked up, my hair moved to the side
A chill went down my spine, what happened to my pride?
My eyes began to water, I took another step
This was all a secret, I never should have kept
I jumped off the side, I tumbled to the ground
I never said a word, I didn't make a sound
I hit the ground hard, but I was still me
I needed it so much, I needed to be free

My dad came outside, he saw me on the hill
As he came much closer, my body gave a chill
He grabbed me by the throat, then he drug me inside
But it's just this time, I had no place to hide
After I was beaten, he told me to die
Then he watched and laughed, at his first son cry
I didn't know what next, I just felt so strange
Please can someone tell me, why the world changed

Whoa
Seiz,
When you wrote that you took a step closer to the edge and how you hit the ground hard. was that true? And when ur dad abused you right after, true? If so, then i'm sincerely sorry! You've been thru so much, and it seems as if it just made you stronger.
