Just come quietly, it said with a seething smile
Come along, it breathed down my neck, let's talk for awhile
You know you want too, it crooned with delight
Just for a little while, it pleaded with me, it won't be all night
I stared at this creature, so dark and so nasty
It tried way too hard to play innocent, now how good could that be
It beckoned me, hastily, with its talons of fury
Its eyes looked so hungry, filled with evil intent and tumultuous glory
It wreaked of filth and feces and fear
I stood and faced it, eye to eye, as it inched its way closer, trying to get near
I tried to fight the feeling that was building inside
The urge to vomit just wouldn't subside
I felt my eyes burning furiously with hate
I wanted to fight it, but I felt weak, and maybe it's too late
This ugly thing came into my home, f*cked up my life, brought with it, hell
It split in two, tore up my peace, ate my heart, left nothing but a shell
It sealed my tearducts, I cannot cry, it doesn't matter how hard I try
There's nothing left but a big black well, in the place where my heart did dwell
I cannot sleep, everytime I close my eyes
It meddles in my dreams and leaves me traumatized
I wake up, not a moment later, I cannot breathe, choked by fear
I'm wondering how I got into this place, wondering what I'm doing here
I've been told, that I have brought this on myself
How can this be when I fight like hell, for what I believe in, and everyone else
I'm to fight for the Innocents, some young, some old
Yet my demise is my own doing, so I am told
Did yet I ask for haunted dreams, for abusive men to literally rip me apart at the seams?
Did I wish for broken parts, ask for lies, or beg a sick twisted monster to eat my heart?
Did I ask to be raped, or long to be taken advantage of?
Did the one who molested me in broad daylight, really think he was showing me love?
Did I tell the gods to take me away from my mother, my twin sister and my two brothers?
Did I beg them on my knees to make me an adoptee?
Somehow for some strange reason, all of this evades me
Protecting the Innocents, until my dying day
From the perilous clutches of evil and decay
Is my primary focus and destiny
I'll not vere from this blessed path
Come what may, to haunt me from the past
Whatever ugliness rears its head, I'll not succumb
I'll stand strong instead and look to the sun
Even if I feel weak inside, I promise myself I will not hide
