Damaged Daughter

In the blackness of the hallway

I hear your footsteps

My heart beats faster as I curl into my blanket

No! No! please dont hurt me

I am startled and frightened like an injured animal

I want to flee and escape but your footsteps wont leave

They are so loud in my head like drums pounding

The perspiration engulfs my rigid body

I try to scream but no sound comes out

Terror and anxiety choke me with each quickened breath

I am frozen and encapsulated by your power

You are nearly upon me with your rancid smell and rough bearded face

The darkness is all around, I try to hide within the pockets of this insanity

Nothing can save me now and I succumb to your evil advances

I slowly drift away in disassociation and dream with hope and faith

That someday you will disappear and I can be free and happy as I should be

WoH! K, that blew me away! God, the imagery you put into this just can cake into the soul in a second. It must've been so terrifying for this girl. I feel for her very much, and that shouldn't of happened to her. Very heartfelt, and the pain is intense here. I think u did an excellent job explaining everything here. It must've been such a horrible event for this girl. I feel so sorry for her :(

Great Poem!

This was hella deep!
I hope you never went through this
and if you did may the Lord have
mercy on whoever hurt you

I am looking forward to reading more
of your work

Great job!

Is this about clouds too? JK (that's an inside joke) It's good, scared me. Should Flash Gordon come save you?
