Running away to a nightmare.

Running away from home,
Running from all my fears,
Stumbling through the forest,
The rain hiding my tears.

My hair, black and straight,
Styled to cover my face,
All those scars clawed into my skin,
I'm an absolute disgrace.

The things that I have done,
And they have done to me,
Unforgettable, Unforgivable,
I'm lonely, can't you see?

I acted as their slave,
I stood so brave and tall,
But now I'm running into the darkness,
Running away from it all.

The coldness bites my skin,
Like knifes cutting in deep,
I fear the blood will freeze me solid,
I'll be forced to eternal sleep.

Slowing down in the night,

The angry wind whipping me cruelly,
I trail my hands across the branches,
Making them cold and unruly.

Sitting down all alone,
I play things through my head,
The loneliness swallows me,
And anger for being mislead.

My mind is like a puzzle,
A never-ending maze,
And all my happy memories,
Are lost in a distant haze.

The pain that I have suffered,
Turns to sorrow in my mind,
I daren't look back at that house,
For fear of what I've left behind.

Those other girls in there,
I sympathise for greatly,
I know what they have been through,
Empathy has saved me lately.

Now I'm all alone,
After finally breaking free,
But have I really escaped?
Or have I set a trap for me?

The little sanity I had,
Has now been left behind,
Every time I think of it,
I start to lose my mind.

I'm lost in this puzzle,
What is known as life,
The wind is telling me now,
I'll never be someone's wife.

I lay down on the bank,
Of the frozen pond,
And I close my eyes and think,
Of everything beyond.

After only a few minutes,
Maybe an hour at most,
The cold penetrates my body,
And turns my soul to a ghost.

Now I'm stranded here,
Feeling all alone,
Angry, depressed, because now I know,
This life is now my home.
