The yelling,

the screaming,

everything I could hear;

The shouts of anger

and terrible visions

are still loud and clear

The threats of death,

the bruises and the blood

remain forever in an innocent mind;

The swallowing of pills,

brought glassy eyes,

and hopes of leaving your life behind

A brave little girl,

tries to forget the horrors,

embedded deep within her past

But the memories

that lie within,

always seem to last
