Pain

His hand raised up in the air,

His brown eyes turn black,

The black you see before a storm.

His hand strikes my face

I feel the sudden stinging sensation.

I turn my face away,

As so to hide my tears.

I hear him yelling

Calling me retarded

Worthless

Bitch

Dumbass

Idiot

Etc.

I run upstairs and lock myself away.

The knife lays in front of me,

I pick it up and put it to my wrist.

I feel the stinging sensation and glance upwards.

The reflection shows the little girl who

Lives in fear of disappointing those around her.

Is this all I've been reduced to?
