Haunted

She cries herself to sleep at night,
Her parents cause her such a fright,
They kick, punch, yell and scream,
Now she tries just to live in a happy dream,

But the pain stays,
Haunting her throughout her days,
And night mares come by dark,
Her parents left a scaring mark,

She has to run far away,
To take herself into a better day,
No more sleepless nights,
She needs to get away from their pointless fights,

There is no light in the brightest of days,
She thought that this was the only way,

To get away from it all,
To stand on her own two feet,
To stand proud and tall,
It’s them she must defeat,

They deprived her of happiness,
Let her live in the dark,
Its time for her to leave her own angry mark
