Tormented Teen

I sit in the cafeteria
Twirling my hair around my finger
Watching how everyone groups themselves

As I sit alone everyone passing my table
Completely ignoring my existence
As if they had no idea what is happening

As I die on the inside
From the agonizing pain mentally
I know I will never be loved

On the outside I stay covered
To hide any evidence of the abuse

I've only had one friend
We talked about everything
But now she is gone
I have no one

She was struck too many times herself
I fear the same will happen to me
i must find a way away from the agonizing pain

My father is a drunk
My mother a user
And every night I curl up in my room hoping they will never find me

Though every night he kicks in the door
They strike me till I am no longer conscious

So every morning I pray for someone to rescue me
As they have rescued my friend
