I won't admit this but I hate it here,
Within the faded lilac walls
Holding onto the whispers of demons
From 3 o'clock mornings
To 6 o'clock evenings.

The old lilac paint crumbles
As the bittersweet memories unfold
Hurling painful events
Of my 13 year old self.
The remorse fills my soul
Like the blood that use to drip down my thighs ,
Smearing my pajamas with evidence
Of the silent torment I lived with.

I hate it here
