Abuser, you batter me with my own mind.  I'm beaten, demeaned, and afraid.  I try and I try to pretend you're not there,  So maybe you'd just go away.   You've grown like a tumor, corrupted my soul,  An ache that i just can't ignore.  You have all the power you could over me,  But never stop fiending for more.   And yet you're a coward, tucked hidden away,  Another face I'll never see.  So insofar as you reside in my head,  I fear I will never be free.   And so I've no option to ease my distress  But to strike myself down where I lie.  You Beast, you were able to rule how I lived  But you will not control how I die.
