A Silent Cry
by Angela
Late at night a five year old cries,
As She holds Teddy tight.
footsteps She hears in the hall,
As she is curled up into a ball.
Her nightmare comes in her room,
She knows if she just lay's there it will be over soon.
She is so little and so scared to even try to fight,
She just closes her little blue eyes so ever tight.
Her clothes fall to the floor,
As she prays "God please no more".
When it's all over and her nightmare leaves,
She feels that she can finally start to breathe.
A silent cry,Nobody heard.
She wonders why,She didn't say a word.
Now she has no self love or self worth,
So she throws her life into the dirt.
As she is becoming a teen,
She is now hateful and mean.
She needs a life with control,
She hasn't ate for two days she is on a role.
A withered wreck of what she used to be,
Lost in her addiction, no longer free.
Looking in the mirror, blinded by her want,
She doesn't see what she truly is, unbelievably thin and gaunt.
Day after day, she starves herself thin,
Trying to hide the depravity, she's keeping within.
Hiding her true self, she masks her sorrow,
She fights her hunger, for a better tomorrow.
As days pass, she eats less and less,
Wanting to be perfect, all she can do is obsess.
Locking herself away, from family and friends,
All by herself, the beast inside her transcends.
This illness inside grows, a monster of hate,
Slowly taking her over, eating at her weight.
Her hair falls out, and her skin grows thin,
They want to help her, but don't know where to begin.
