Why does every day have to be so hard

The courage to survive abuse comes very rarely these days,

as one depressed teenager prays.

Help me.

Afraid and confused

Hit and abused.

The one person that is supposed to love and cherish you,

beats you black and blue.

She try's and try's to stay strong,

but the pain lasts oh so long.

She needs someone to stay with her,

though this hell.

Cant they tell?

Every night she cries herself to sleep,

being so tired of the hurt and being alone.

She used to think people cared,

but as everyday goes by,

she starts thinking more and more

that that's a lie.

You never know how hard abuse is,

until you survive it.

No one told that little girl to be prepared,

that everyday she would die more and more inside.

The girl always wanting to hide.

She wants out,

but she is scared, and has more and more doubt about being alive.

She doesn't want to cry anymore,

one day she hopes she will walk through that heavenly door.

Some days that little girl believes she cant survive,

Why cant she just disappear.

Its so hard trying to calculate when she will be hit next,

Everyday she hopes the next will be okay,

All she had to look forward to was the next day.

Well it wasn't.

Step in her shoes,

everyday that girl uses what strength she does have to get out of bed.

Thinking that when she wakes up it will be over,

that it was all a really big nightmare.

Then she wakes up,

and her thoughts and hopes to be safe disappear.
