Nothing to Lose

What would you do

If it happened to you?

It’s easy to say

You would run from the pain

That’s there is nothing to lose

And all to gain ...

But you weren’t there

When his hand struck my face

And you weren’t there

When he jumped on my case

So don’t forget to remember

That it didn’t happen to you

Because what if it did

What would you do?
