To Be

By HadassahDare

 Control me,
beat me,
hurt me,
kill me.
Look through me with your glass eyes
yell at me with your cruel voice
Hit me and make me cry
I run away but still you stay
invading my mind, taking over my soul
take my love, take my power
leave me be, I am a wilted flower,
dry and dead. 
I hate you, that is what I said. 
I no longer cry, I no longer scream.
I'm happy without you and that's how it's going to be.

    Thank you. I kind of hate the rhyming but this piece is very important to me due to the subject.
