<p style="text-align:center;">A safe place for a fresh start, that, was a distant dream for her, she’d, lived in her fears for so god DAMN long, trapped by him, she’d forgotten, how it feels, to be free.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A safe place for a fresh start, is there, such a place on earth?  Is there a place I can go, to be away from, to be safe, from you?  Of course not, ‘cuz I’d allowed you to control me for so god damn long that it’d become, a way of my life now.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A safe place for a fresh start, I longed for, but, still hadn’t, found it yet, and, I reckon that I, never will, because no matter where I go, there you’ll be, behind me, like a ghost, a shadow that haunts me, endlessly………</p>
