I can't speak.
Not because I don't want to,
Or because I'm to weak.
There's something keeping me
from doing so.
I don't know what it is,
but its around my throat.
Making it hard to breathe.
So tight.
So very tight.
Its obviously choking me,
but i cant cry out.
Even though it hurts.
Because when I do,
I'm met with more than just angry words.
A kick there.
A punch here.
Eventually I start to hurt everywhere.
I whine and I plead.
But no one hears me.
No one sees me.
Will I ever be saved from this cruelty?
