Nightfall (!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~


It all starts at nightfall.

When the cold comes in

and the monsters call.

When I lose count

of the tears that fall,

When I realize that I'm nothing at all.



It starts with a bell.

When the demons come

and the monster sells 

When they make me kneel

and fill my well

When it spills of milk

from something cruel.




It starts with pain.

When they tell me to behave;

to strip my clothes and never complain.

When they set me aside,

treated with disdain.

When they continue to stain

what they already stained.



~~~


I always cried silently,

in my own little corner

hugging my worn-out teddy

drowned with justified self-pity.


hoping that someone will save me,

knowing no one will save me,


~~~


Then something snaps,

Clicks into place.

Everything is so clear now.



I have to save myself.

and only myself.

This world is only filled with monsters and demons

nothing else



Yes. 

Everything is so clear now.

<I have to save myself>
