Release Me and Turn Off the Lights

He came into my life when I was just a little girl I was happy and young, and then he changed my world. One night I was in bed and he came to say good night. Except he took a little longer before he turned out the lights. He really hurt me that night, and I did'nt know what to do I thought it happened to most every little boy and girl I lay in bed that night, hurting inside and out tears rolling from my little face screaming trying not to shout. I put that tragic night in the back of my head, and grew up because there was nothing to be said. I thought it would only happen once, or maybe when I had done something bad, but from two years old to eight years old the longer the lights stayed on. how would I of known he was wrong or knew it was bad. I just felt sad and all alone. All I do is mope and cry, with dirty feelings inside. No one understands what I feel each day Please someone take my hand to Never never land! Anything is better than here!!! I cut myself sometimes when the pain gets to much I have to release something out I hate him so much and where he used to touch. I hope someone hears my cries, and I hope they understand what he put me through and what he caused. I keep having nightmares of this man. I feel that for me, there is no way out I just want to scream, scream and shout.
