I live in a world full of darkness and fear,

When the rest of the world sees me, things aren't as they appear,

Behind closed doors, I have suffered and experienced what no woman should bear.

The man I onced loved is a cold hearted monster,

Whose thoughts are only on to conquer,

For to him I am weak, his prey, I'm a goner.

I do not wish to live with this beast, who treats me like those who are deceased,

I am very terrified of the beast he has become,

I am terrified of what may come.

Beneath the layers of clothes I wear, is a body covered with scars and bruises,

That have been kept hidden, due to lies and excuses.
