I stood there watching, waiting for it to end,
But it never did.
I screamed for it to stop,
But it never did.
I begged and pleaded for mercy,
But I was ignored.
I cried for help,
But I was never answered.
I prayed for an ending,
But I was never heard.
I slowly began to realize that I was on my own.
The end will come by my own hands.
Not theirs.
Not anyone else's.
I wait for the chance to make my move.
When the time is right,
I will escape and be free.
