So many things I don't understand,
too many questions I cannot ask...

She lets him call her awful names.
She lets him drag her across the floor...

So many people think I am shy
and my confidence is low...

I cannot believe that you are free
roaming this world like a beast...

I do not want the toys and games
that other children have...

I blame myself for trusting you
when the warnings were all there...

Grabbed without warning
A dozen hands pulling me...

Programmed not to speak out loud,
it's hard to break the habit...

It has been so long since I have felt
your cold yet comforting touch...

I don't even know what to write any more
to make the pain go away...

Softly weeping rivers of sadness
as they grow wider on my cheeks...

Deep in the darkness of the stormiest sea
there is a monster chasing my soul...
