(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
