Night is closing in on me,
It is so dark I cannot see,
I fear what awaits me in the night,
Things no child should have to fight,
Yet night after night he appears,
I live in a constant state of fear,
Is this the night that I will die,
I am terrified I will not lie,
Oh my house is not a safe place,
I am ashamed, I hide my face,
Why does no one notice my pain?

Has the world gone crazy or am I insane,
Tonight he hurt me so much I cried,
He said I asked for it but he lied,
I never wanted him to visit in the night,
Someone please deliver me into the light,
I cannot take this constant struggle in my bed,
I fear one night I will end up dead,
For if I fight he hurts me worse,
Is my entire life a curse?

This is...amazing. I write songs, but this is...wow. Cool :) I feel like that, only emotionally ;)

I also wrote this one.

I am not strong enough today to face what was torn away,
My youth, my innocence, my life.
To face these days of endless strife I need a release
From the bondage I feel,
When I realize each day the past was real,
Instead the memories oppress my heart.
He hurt me badly before my life began.
It starts NOW.
I try to pick up the shattered pieces ,
So I can get on with my life, a new lease.
Yet despite people thinking it will be easy,
It is a process wrought with difficulty.
Let me see them repair their shattered soul.
I want to see them in the reversed role.
Then I can tell them to just get over it already,
That they should be healed and now steady,
I think they would all change their song,
If they endured for a moment,
What I endured all along.

Thank you for your compliments
