The world around
Is looking bleak
I cannot move
I cannot speak
My body is broken
But no one knows
They look at me
Down their nose
My throat is burning
Wishing to free
The secret locked
So deep in me
But my throat is locked
And head held low
It must remain
That no one know
My secret inside
Is my shame
And I feel
I am to blame
I see the monster
That caused my pain
It meets my eye
And my face drains
It traps me
Against the wall
And I stand limp
Like a doll
It came back
To repeat the deed
Then something snapped
And I was freed
I fought back
Against the thing
Taking pleasure
In the fear I bring
My secret free
No longer meek
I smile knowing
I learned to speak.
