"The Beating"
They were yelling again today
As a chill ran up my spine
I heard a thud in the corner
Then I heard a muffled whine
And to my eyes was brought
The thing I had most feared
With it came a pain in my,
Chest I couldn’t bear
With a sprint so fast
I ran into the room
Wondering why the hit came
And why it had been so soon
How could a family
Like this ever be
All these things hidden
So people couldn’t see
The terrifying things
Bottled up inside
Coming to an end of
Whether we live or die
In this tragic world
And horrifying place
Some of us are chosen for
The pain we have to face
But in a world like this
Life just isn’t very fair
Cause you never know whether
When you die if they would care
In this little wasteland
That I’ve tragically departed
I begin to wonder
How the pain all started
If you look deep inside
You’ll find all this life
But with it comes
A terribly high price
You’ve got to give up on
Everything you know
Say yes & you’ll be free
You’ll die if you say no
Just give in to it all
It just can’t be beat
All this freedom now
What an exhilarating treat
But you just gave it up
Yes you’ve sold your soul away
And now that you have done so
There’s nothing left to say
