A BROKEN CHILD


When darkness falls in my world
I look to those who scream
And those who use their terror
To reign throughout my dream.

I cry out in horror
A tremble in my voice.
I give in and surrender
You leave me no other choice.

You say that I have hurt you
Your words tear me in two.
Your anger showed it's ugly face
And like a flame, it grew.

You tell me that I'm stupid
And I'll never understand
You tell me to stop crying
And raise to me your hand.

I ask you where you come from
You say that I'm naive
You say that I should pack my things,
Save you time and just leave.

I know not what to say to you
Or how to show my pain
I have no other place to turn
But if I stay I'll go insane.
