Using only her eyes
her secrets were poured out.
From beneath all the lies
her pupils did shout...

"Treated as a thing
never as a person,
all the looks they did sting
all their words abusive.
I flinch as they walk by,
a dog expecting pain.
Days I wanted to die.
Days I couldn't stay sane.
But you see who I am
not what I do or say.
And when you touch my hand
all those days fade away"

A smile on her face
her lips began to part.
But I cut her words short,
"This is only the start"
