I was itching and scratching and clawing at my skin.
The monsters kept screeching, “Slut. Whore. Bitch. Let us in!”
I heard you claim the devil as your kin
when you ripped open my heart and then forcefully pinned
me to the bed, sneering, commanding me to sin.

<p>I posted this on my tumblr the day I wrote it. I will not link my tumblr directly as it is highly inappropriate for the younger users of this site; however, as the event that I chose to write about happened when I was 11, I believe that it's appropriate to express this here. I also put it on my readwave account.</p>
