In the darkest lonely place
Shivering and cold
A young girl hides in silence
To young to have ever told
...

I am your child yelling for help
I am the kid you hit with a belt

You are my father screaming at me
...

I am a poet, writing of her pain
I am a girl, hiding her shame
I am a student, making an impression
I am a sister, hiding depression
...

The end is near
And so I fear
I can’t go on
For I am gone
...

The End

The end is near
And so I fear
...

They left in groups
Came back in boxes
They fight and kill like Spanish foxes
One by one they came home sadly
...

Into the dark abyss
of emptiness I go
Falling deeper inside myself ~
the greatest shame I know.
...

I'm scared to live
I'm scared to die
I'm scared to laugh
and I'm scared to cry
...
