Stuck In Darkness

March 27, 2013

This shadow covers me It's so dark They walk about I can't give up I'm deep in pain Screaming for help They are looking They don't care I am an animal I AM their joy But I need help I'm held captive in this place called home There is no place for me to roam Stuck inside, no place to go Cause my owners hate me so If I could, I would escape Go and run to my happy place Where I am to be me But not here There's no happiness that exists Only pain I must resist Places of my dream crash down Cause my owner walks in with a frown Oh what pain and no delight that now changed and we are right They are us and us are they For now we are up And all is well Untill Revenge breaks down

I had another poem I wrote when I was younger about Child Abuse and I was stuck on which one to put. However, I am posting the other one for the fun of it. I truly love writing poetry and I wish my poems hit your heart as it hit my friend's.
