Soul-trapped

As fast I ran away from him, as close he built the fear in me,

I lost the focus of my pace, as I screamed silently pleading to God

Giggle of his sadism filled my spine with cold fear

This was then I saw someone laugh over my suffering

You brushed your hand lustfully and I begged my soul to run faster

Is everything in life really a joke?

He moved on as easily as I lost my smile for almost ever

“One in every 5 children is a victim of it”

Does it feel so simply less painful as it reads so simply more factual?

As far I leave behind a life, as much more I pretend to be stronger

Who am I really?

I am a strong firm woman who hides her soul everyday in the closet

As much love I give, as much hollowness I end up with...

As fast I ran away then from life, as close I built the fear in me for today...
