Sold: the Price, Me

Shadows The place I have been forced to live my life.  Horrible people doing horrible things to me in the dark.  I have never been able to protest.  They are always stronger than me. Bigger than me. The things of which they do, I can not tell. Pushing. Pulling. Screaming. Hurting. Than darkness. Every day it's the same. So I escape it with drugs. It's the only way I know how to escape. The rush it brings puts down my guard. I dont have a mind, So when they hurt me, I don't care. Sometimes I'm awake though. It seems so much worse every time. Longer. It's always someone different every other night. I hear them bartering how much. My father always turns a profit. He doesn't care about what he's doing to me.  He never has. I can only do his bidding and nothing else. I can never tell about the he'll I live in. Banished from heaven for an eternity until death.
