Grateful
Location
Every morning she wakes up
To do the same exact thing
As soon as she comes home from school
She endures the beatings
All she wants is to get away
Far from this place
But accepts that nothing is changing
At least not in any haste
It seems almost impossible
To just clear her mind
When she wants more than anything
To leave all of this behind
She doesn’t really have anyone
In which she can confide
So she’s forced to keep all of it
Bottled up inside
Is everyone around her truly blind
And does not see
That she is so insecure
Obviously
The people around her
Make her feel despised
When will someone wake up
And just realize
That she is drowning
From the inside out
And not for any single second
Does she hold a doubt
That life should be
A whole lot easier for her
If someone would interfere
Or infer
Of all the evil and wrong
That is taking place
All of the memories
Will never erase
So every night she goes to bed
Wishing she would die
But every morning when she wakes up
She thanks God she’s still alive
