The Loser, My Abuser

I think he is going to kill me
Tomorrow I might just be history
I hear his voice
"Come out Samantha this isn't a choice!"
I peer around the corner and say
"I'm here, please please go away."
He grabs my arm and drags me forward
I want to run away but still I move toward
The man who is full of hate
The fact that he's drunk seals my fate
He slaps me across the face
I try to run, but this isn't a race
He grabs me, and throws me down
My head bounces off the ground
I try to crawl away
But he kicks me hard and there I stay
He looks me over, he seems to be done
For tonight he's had his fun

Bring it! Get the demons out. Words, my only release from the pulverizing pain. keep it up and you will feel better. (if these are true accounts) If not then they are wonderful expression anyways.
