Misunderstood

They probe her as if she were an alien whose home planet is  "Uncontrollable Anger".
It's the planet of "Misunderstood Misfits".
She is not angry.
She wants to love.
Yet they never neglect to treat her inhumanely.
Rip her to shreds before she even speaks.
Beat and abuse her.
Cut and stab deep.
Launching her into a state of pure agony.
Agony.
The agony of being silenced.
The agony like acid,
burning from the inside out.
Their disdain forcing her down,
snatching away the word love.
"Like taking candy from a baby."
Love no longer.
That word is just a word that naive people use,
what ignorant people dream,
what she doesn't see.
Because she is forced down to the ground.
Oppressed.
Hated.
Feeling as though this is hell,
and she is hell bound.
She's screaming but no words are leaving her mouth.
But wait...
This is it.
They snatch her last breath.
They cut her wide open,
for a so called autopsy.
Just to realize she was a human being,
on the same planet,
with the same blood,
now dripping from her lifeless body.
But they will never understand that she
was just,
Misunderstood.
