Monster

The night is over
Her pain returns
Showing her wounds
With cuts and burns.

The heat and light
Bringing warmth to all
Taking her shield when
She stumbles and falls.

The moon and stars
Are how she survives
Covering her shame
No one knows she's alive.

But when day comes
She's just another lost soul
With no one to help her
Her stories unfold.

The scars on her face
Proof she's been harmed
Showing the truth
And raising alarm.

They all know what happened
No one's safe anymore
They shut all the windows
And lock all the doors.

But while everyone's rushing
To protect themselves
Nobody's noticed
The girl who needs help.

While she's lost and alone
She knows she's helped them
But all the monster's waiting for,
Is to strike this girl again.
