Surrender

Another day has
begun and here you
come walking down
the hall.

Trying to hide
behind my friends
or the wall, but
you always find me.
I just can't seem
to hide very well. I
barely hang on
anymore.

Started off good
but that began to
go down hill. Making
rules who I can
and cannot see, and
if a boy even
looks at me I
get beaten.

Crying out in agony,
and in return I
get another strike
for being too
loud.

In school your
nice and kind but
when the lights are
off the real you is
showing.

Slammed up against
the wall my friends
back off and leave
me in despair. Whimpering
as I look around
the room.

No one not even
a teacher tries to
stop him from chocking
me. He screams "shut
up!" I cut short, scared
to death. Then he
lets me go.

I hit the ground
and stay sitting
on the floor. Tears
run down my face
mixing with blood.

I start to cry
learning a long time
ago not to make a
sound. I bit my
lip, but he comes
back. Slaps me
across the face
and walks away.

Waking up the next
morning battered, bruised
and cuts acrossed
my arms.

Its getting worse
I can't even talk
to my friends. He
brings a knife to
school and threatens
my life.

He heard I was
hanging out with
another guy. Lies
and secrets locked
up inside, and with that
my life begins to
slow. My world becomes
the end.
