**i know its a bit long but please read and write comments...for all the children who go through things like this every day
She\'s stayed at school,
For as long as she could,
She wanted to tell them,
But she knows
It would only worsen the hurt,
They wouldn't understand
The pain deep down in her soul,
She can't escape,
She's on her own,
She has to face it,
There's nowhere else - no one else,
And she stops at the door,
While the tears spill down her cheeks,
She feels the throbbing on her back,
The dried blood caked into the deep welts,
She knows it will happen again,
She can't fight it,
And as she hesitates,
The door opens,
Into the house of everything she loathes and fears,
A nicotine-stained hand jerks her inside,
And the shabby peeling door slams shut.
