• i'm slipping away.
    falling,
    falling down
    where no one can find me.
    broken, unloved.
    lying on the floor,
    my beaten and bruised body shaking from the sobs.
    struggling to focus,
    to survive.
    deep crimson leaking from the corners of my mouth.
    fighting so hard just to breath.
    to not lose myself in this impenetrable black.

    no one cares about this battered child,
    lying alone in the dark.
    no one cries for her.
