Living In Terror

Living In Terror


                 Wide awake, eyes open, unable to speak from being too scared
                   Traumatized and internally afraid, wounded beyond all repair...

                    Teeth clenched, eyes watering, Dear God this is all so unfair
                   My fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have ever of been there...

                  Undealt with emotions from the turmoil of a story never shared
                  Secret, keep it secret, trying to believe that nobody would care...

           She could hear her ignorant mother, "Now dear you should be more aware"
                  Left alone but never alone, now she lives within constant terror...
