Kill the Lights
Kill the lights,
Disappearing within night.
No one around to even care,
It’s like you’re in a nightmare.
The boogie mans after you,
But then again there are a few.
Looking back at all the pain,
You realize nothing ever changed.
Within this moment you start to stare,
And realize that no one’s ever there.
When you always seek for help,
Everyone always seems to yelp.
You never understand anything,
But everything’s always oh so plain.
You can’t help but be so distant,
But no one knows at the instant.
When you were raped, you lost your virginity,
Your family, your all, and your identity.
