WORTHLESS
The walls shine red
Her terror amounts
She hears his footsteps
and know her luck has run out…
Buried deep in her covers
She pretends to be asleep
She feels the pain,
But she will never scream.
She goes to school, putting on her fake smile
Whenever she is asked, everything is fine
And no one notices how horrific it is
When the lights go out in her house,
With the white picket fence.
When the light goes out, her nightmare begins…
Smile for the pictures!!
Acting FINE.
If anybody knew…
If only…
one person…
Would look in her eyes..
They would see a storm of emotions
That none of them could ever handle.
Perfect family. Pillars of the Community.
Who would believe…
Behind closed doors,
She will never be the same
She can’t take anymore…
She could run. She could flee,
Leaving her siblings behind,
But she feels so worthless
She takes it in stride
Given the chance she may run and hide?
Laughter fills the room.
She is doomed for life…
Blissful ignorance…they all turn their backs
On the person they “care about”
But she must keep the family secrets.
For the sake of everyone involved.
She is totally and utterly alone….
As he stabs her in the back...
Fake Smiles
And sometimes you were there for me
And other days I'd wish you'd leave
And when at night I'd go to bed
I'd be confused and wish you dead
I'd feel it was all my fault
I'd feel I was very small
I'd feel that I could not sleep
No privacy was mine to keep
I'd feel others were mine to help
Whatever price my cards were dealt
I'd feel I would have to share, strength and love when I was scared
And never, ever dare to show
Or ever let another know
That behind the smiles, behind the day
Lived a child whose nights were grey.
