Just another night The familiar scent hanging in the stifling air Amidst the blankets, little girl lies Dead-eyed, ind screaming perpetually Denials, delusions, excuses A wall built up Touch her, she doesn't feel Living in an endless darkness Days spent in hiding Didn't deserve to see the sun Nights spent as a tool of sick pleasure Daily routine How long has she been on planet Hell? A day, a decade, a millennium? Years pass, little girl grows up Bitter, angry, afraid Clinging on to sanity for dear life Trapped in the bog of guilt and depression Drowning in the ooze of uncertainty Sucked inevitably down in shame Jumping from man to man In search of boycotted love Seeking friendship and the touch of a lover Yet so afraid of what that touch could bring She recoils from the light Finding sanctuary in solitude Have you ever been to planet Hell?
