Shinning stars checking in on me through the window,
My dreams undiscovered now known,
Stories unravel as I sleep in my bed,
The things I say normally go unsaid,

Every want every need,
My dreams seem to exceed,
Every fear I have hid inside,
Chases me and I have no way to hide,

My dream world is incomplete,
There are still plenty of blank sheets,
Yet every night a page is written,
A world for me every one else forbidden.
Children skipping down the street,
Every one happy not one thinking of being beat,
A little girl sits and wonders,
Tries to hide the bruises on her arms and shoulders,

She wants to be like them,
But she has to hide from him,
Her step father in a rage,
The act he puts on should be on a stage,

She screams for help,
She cries with yelp after yelp,
He holds her tight,
As she wishes she could fight,

Her legs try to kick,
She feels as if she may be sick,
He screams in her face,
Inside her head she goes to her place,

The sky is blue the flowers bright,
Every ones happy no one fights,
His grip gets harder his hands no longer on her arms,
Now his hands around her neck all she hears are alarms,

Her eyes go black her body limp,
All he thinks is “that little wimp”,
Soon he hears sirens and they don’t stop,
Then he realizes it’s the cops,

He runs out the back door,
The police are so unsure,
That baby girl’s life is lost,
No one finds him, he doesn't understand the cost.
Fear pushing, pulling, clinging to my mind,
Relentless pushing me to find,
A memory,
One lost but not wanted to be found,
So tired of being pushed around,
I don’t want to know what I have seen,
What I have felt,
But this is the hand that I have been dealt,
The fear pushed to far and the memory has reach out,
Grabbed me before I could scream or shout,
Once again I see him outside my window,
Fear creeps up my body into my throat but I cannot scream,
Step by step he gets closer soon he is walking through my door,
The idea is still too much to endure,
His hands on my mouth saying “shhh it will be alright”
Tears rolling down my cheeks,
Disgusted in myself for being so weak,
A hand on my neck the other somewhere else,
All I feel is pain,
Just want to scream but I refrain,
He won’t stop,
He won’t listen,
In the moon light his evil eyes glisten,
He takes everything away from me at such a young age,
Left a little girl feeling like an animal trapped in a cage,
No use in asking for help or telling my story,
It’s like a horror movie it seems fake and gory,
Too long ago for anyone to care,
Too young to even dare to share.
