How can you keep me safe?? How can you stop the demons and the monsters that want me?? You're away when I'm here. I'm not here when you are. If I let those demons and monsters out then I will be dead. I used to wish that the mother or the father would just once hit hard enough that I would die and it would be over. it almost happened once. If I had let the uncle do what he wanted then he wouldn't have kept trying when ever I saw him. If I had let him do it then maybe he would've made sure I died.

Give me a blanket
cover me tight
hold me and keep me warm
it's a dark cold lonely night.

Stand watch so I can sleep
make sure they don't come
to get me this time
because I'm all done

I hear them
I feel their breath
I curl up and close my eyes
and wait for death.
