Numbness Will Over Come Us

Numbness will over come us.
In the end pain will win.
The scorching desire of death
will always take your breath.
Colorless bare skin
with marks and scars
that hide inside.
We all just want to die.
Lies we are told to obey
or slaps against my face.
Belts an burns as you take turns.
Numbness has set in
my pain only begins.
The light inside my soul
burns with rage and hate,
how can this be I'm only eight.
Time is at an end, my story 
will only end with death
of Numbness that has overcome us.
