Dark rage spreads about
The feeling of helplessness
The feelings of doubt
Self worth, no one ever taught
Nine years old, and by terror caught
Beaten and bruised
And sexually abused
Life is now stunted
Fear and distrust
Goes about undaunted
Hiding from night terrors
Sleepless nights, undone by life’s errors
Tear stained pillow
Too young to understand
The raw sexual urges of a man
To be taken away from one’s self
And left to find reason
When none is left
Dark rage seethes within
A child powerless to defend
So goes inside a secret shell
And left alone, there she will dwell
Filled to the core
With dark rage
