Excerpt The Intruder Every night she’s scared to try sleep Her once favourite place has become a place of fear Where all her worst nightmares come true night after night And she must endure it without shedding a tear She lies in the dark waiting for the sound Knowing the intruder is lurking around Waiting until everyone else is asleep So there’s no one to hear her scream And tell her it’s just a dream First come the names and all her faults “You’re ugly, you’re stupid, you’re fat” “You’re hopeless, everyone hates you, you should die” There’s no one to convince her it’s a lie Then comes the pain, followed by the blood While the names and laughter continue to flood Flooding her mind and she cannot fight Deep down inside she knows they’re right Finally the intruder gets bored with it’s prey It leaves her alone until the next day Calmness overtakes her but she knows it won’t last For the intruder is herself, the intruder is her past
