Alexis Y. Poet Rhyme

Pleading Stare

Listen up please, I’m crying out.
I am bleeding on the inside.
It’s my pleading stare, not a shout. 

Abuser beats me everyday,
sleep has become my safe haven.
Life has become stagnant and gray.

I died slowly on the inside,
the physical must join spirit.
No longer do I have to hide.
