Lost in a vast forest
Escape before he finds you
Confused as to what you did
Hurt, afraid, angry
Feeling so small
Watch out, here he comes
Run as fast as you can
Can’t escape his rage
Each hit feels like a hammer
He grabs your throat
Can’t breath, eyes water
Don’t cry, be strong
Let him think he won
The blows stop
He leaves with pride
Alone, feeling irrelevant
Bruises show his wrath
Tears can’t take away the pain inside
Marks fade, but the memories still remain
