House Of Shattered Glass
- 0:28
- (GenXjeezy)
- This is the story of my childhood being raised by a narcissistic abuser
- Abuse that made me believe I was a loser and fucked up my future
- My father hated me because he was jealous my mom gave me attention
- He didn't see either one of us as people because we were a possession
- He had to control every little detail of our lives and he ruled with oppression
- If things didn't go exactly as he wanted then he displayed his aggression
- I would get punched in the face, choked out and thrown down the stairs
- My head put through the wall and hit with textbooks, I still have nightmares
- He'd beat my mom bloody in front of me then tell me that it was all my fault
- My self esteem crumbled and I felt more than hopeless with every assault
- The verbal abuse was just as bad, I was told I was the mailman's kid
- He disapproved of, criticized and scrutinized every single thing that I did
- I was embarrassed and disappointed because I was never good enough
- Living with him was rough but it was all that shit that made me so tough
- I have so many mental illnesses from growing up in a house of shattered glass
- I had a narcissistic, addict, alcoholic teacher and being abused was the class
- (unknownfemalerapper)
- Ive been through hella abuse even many kinds lemme introduce
- Mental and physical ive been through both it holds me like a fuckin noose
- Livin with my mom my stepdad is my main abuser
- He keeps punchin me down while im tryin to maneuver
- All shit happens behind closed doors
- I wish that these words were just fuckin metaphors
- The voices in my head are helping him deceive
- Askin me why, “Why don’t you fight back? Why don’t you just leave?”
- Askin me why i dont leave but its not that easy
- When im enduring the abuse no one knows and no one sees
- The trauma haunts me like a ghost in the dark
- Listenin to the constant mental abuse always tellin me im worth less than an old fart
- Growing up in this house it feels more like a cage
- Stepdad in the corner always filled with rage
- He’d come home from work with that look in his eyes
- Like a storm brewing close it brought tears to the skies
- The smallest things would trigger him even a word or a glance
- He goes to hit and you cant hear my silent scream to god for another chance
- (GenXjeezy)
- All the abuse has given me mental illness like depression and PTSD
- Bipolar, ADHD, and Schizoaffective disorder are all part of my reality
- Oh and I have Anti Social Personality Disorder too which is also taboo
- Plus Polysubstance Use Disorder so I'm also an addict which is a big issue
- I have a fucked up worldview and a volatile temper you couldn't ever subdue
- Combine all my mental illness with that temper and you'll see carnage ensue
- After all I've been trough I am not about to start putting up with anyone's shit
- The fact that I can be cruel and heartless is something I'm willing to admit
- When it comes to my opps I have no empathy, sympathy or compassion
- For me power has a strong attraction and assault is just a typical reaction
- I have been to institutions, jail and state prison for committing violent acts
- Anytime something goes wrong I'll definitely be the one who overreacts
- I almost forgot, I also have a condition known as Intermittent Explosive Disorder
- So when I snap I black out and lose all self control and I'm capable of torture
- My level of crazy and demented is something you can't surpass, I'll kick your ass
- I'll show up on your doorstep and then it'll be your house that's full of shatttered glass
- (unknownfemalerapper)
- Silent screams in the dark I learned how to appease
- Steppin on eggshells always beggin “Please”
- Each shout, every blow left a mark that never healed
- Memories replaying this trauma concealed
- The constant abuse has left me with many permanent scars and bruised
- Im like a punchin bag thats been overused
- The abuse has given me depression, PTSD, and anxiety
- It been causin more demons inside of me
- Countless nights lay awake, trapped inside my head
- Thoughts racing wild like a book never read
- Tears fall like rain each drop tells a story
- Life’s heavy burdens stripped away my glory
- Tried to open up was met with cold stares
- Disbelief and dismissal like nobody cares
- Through this hell like my mouth is taped shut nothing i can say
- The affects of this abuse will never go away
