Life of Me
Life of me is what you'll see.
Darkness encamps my soul
Foul torture an never ending pain
surrounds the life I live.
Power an Rage comes from the
ones who was to love you,
but anger an hostility is all around.
Mommy says I was the biggest mistake,
Daddy gives harsh punishment in the night
Crying an Tears are not to be seen.
Beating an Lashes are always done
one by one.
Silent heartbeats flutter my chest
as I try an get some rest.
Praying tomorrow will never come
as I pretend to not be me.
The chains on my feet an hands
have become heavy to hold.
As this room is so very cold.
Dried up blood upon my face
as my heart begins to race.
I know what lies ahead for me today.
