When you feel truly alone…

Hot tears slide down my face

I am in a dark and very unstable place

Abandoned, alone, rejected

I feel so defective

No one wants to hear my tales of abuse

I feel dirty, filthy, and misused

My innocence was stolen from me

I no longer feel free

I could not be a normal kid

I was raped, and abused

Hurt, and I am broken

And I am so confused.
