Ring around the rosy
Pocket full of posies
Ashes ashes
We all fall down

Heart full of pain
My life is your game
Crying crying
I just can't win

Skip to the hard parts
You know how much this hurts
Bruises Bruises
No one knows

Running today
Trying to get away
Hidden Hidden
Will safety last

Ring around rosy
Pocket full of posies
Ashes Ashes
We all fall down

The author's comments:
I wrote this off the top of my head honestly.Ring Around The Rosy, a classic childrens nursery rhyme, had many meenings, from the Black Death, to love stories, to a kids game. But could it not be used to represent abuse aswell?
