(First post so don’t laugh at me) It’s not my fault. I tell myself that same sentence over and over and over Day and night Why am I here? I don’t deserve this punishment! I never did anything wrong! I can’t speak so I try and scream I can’t scream so I try to cry However I can’t cry because I’m numb Yet everything hurts so bad Millions of cuts all along my body You would think I slept in a rose bush The only thing in this endless forest That always repeats after 50 feet Is a mirror with a golden edge But when I look through the glass Instead of matted hair Instead of a torn nightgown Instead of a bruised face I see the devil That I gave myself away too I wanted freedom from my family I never specified that I wanted to stay free
