Abuse

Whisper words of hate
Into my ear as I dream
Tell me I'm worthless
Nothing like I seem

Beat me in the halls
Of school as I walk
Threaten to kill me
If I try to talk

Hold a knife to my throat
When I cry at home
Take away the only release
I've ever known

Hurt my family
If I don't fake my smile
Make them bleed
Gather their blood in a vile

Tell me to do it
To slit my throat
Write down a sad
But firm suicide note
