Chapter 1 - Mental anguish

The pain of so many years with unshed tears





Watching and hearing the words come





Watching and hearing the beatings, the cry tearing from salty lips





Wet from tears





Seeing a tame animal turn into the most hideous of creatures





With blood shot eyes and teeth barred





Nights where the pillow is the only one to confide in





And where the pillow at dawn is wet





The tears do come slipping from tightly shut eyes





No one sees the little girl crying in the corner





Her pale face held between slender hands





She is curled up in a ball hopping and wishing that





This is all a bad dream and that with the dawn





The scene before her red rimmed puffy





Eyes disappear and everything is all right





But every time, time and time again the scene never





Leaves her the scene is still there





It is then she realizes that this nightmare is her life





And that everything is mental anguish





Everything is mental anguish and mental anguish is everything
