Alone I Sit by Ghost

Alone I sit in my own hidden place.
Hidden behind the grotesqueness that is my face.
They say I'm not ugly,
But I know that's a lie.
Why don't they just tell me the truth
And tell me I should die?
For now, I'm stuck in a reality
That no one else can see.

Alone I sit with only my inner demons to talk to.
It's a constant battle in my head.
What should I do?
My soul is filled with dread.
Closer to the edge I come.
As I lay here in my bed.
So many questions come to mind.
In a world filled with lies,
What is there to live for?
In the end everything dies.
Alone I sit until somebody understands.
I want them to know what I went through
Living at my dad's.
They won't understand the things my stepmom did.
Nobody will.
Don't they know how wrong it is
To verbally abuse a child?
I guess they won't
So I'll sit here alone in my own little place
I grow stronger everyday
Everyday that I see her hideous face.

Exactly, use her weakness to make you stronger! Her weakness? All the weaknesses people like that have...insecurity, low self esteem,anger problems, and just plain ol' cruelty. So, in order to make herself feel better she's taking it all out on you, thinking she's weakening you to her level not knowing she's actually making you stronger.
But...that's just my opinion on this whole situation. I could be totally wrong considering i've never been in this kind of situation.

Keep building ur strength......that's what will keep you alive.....that and the fact that someone will enter your life who only speaks the kindest of words to you and mean every single one of them.

Good writing!
