Helena Alvarez - Abused

My thoughts are here
Then roam about
I just feel like screaming out
Screaming
“I want to be heard”
But you just scream
“Not another word”

These bruises
don’t seem to go away
They just add more everyday

How does hurting me
Satisfies your needs
Does it make you feel big and strong
When I bleed?

You make me feel helpless
But im strong
When I speak up
Its your time
Because I just finished mine
