The Girl on the Inside

She has a guard up made of venom to feel safe it never comes down
Her past is not pretty 
She is constantly getting hurt
            Whipped with harsh words
            Her self-esteem drops but she does not let it show
            Chained up in quiet 

She wants to be normal again
She just wants to feel safe in her burrow
            No pain enters here
            The worries exit here
            The stress stops here

She wants to trust commit change love 
Her necessities are the center of a spider web
She wants it to be woven from the inside out 
            To hide in the crevices of fear rejection manipulation
            Will she ever come out
