She sits in the corner , tears overflowing, Dreading another night , footsteps approaching, She seeks God's Love , but is met with silence, Her birth she scorns , hate has taken over guidance. She lies on her bed , bruised and bleeding, Gazing out into the night sky seeking an asylum, She often dreams of a haven free from pain, Reality has imprisoned her ,freedom binded with chains. Ignorance blinds her loved ones from the truth, Her pleas heard but forgotten , labeled as untruth, Daylight goes to slumber and night is approaching, He torments her , drawing blood with his brown leather belt, She no longer feels any pain nor love , Instead she prays for the day where her emotions can once again be felt.
