Everyone says,
you have to save yourself.

I've tried to save myself
and the rope has snapped,
so I can't pull myself up from it.

I can hear myself scream from the pit
but even that fades as it makes it's way to the surface
because if it's one thing I will always remember,
is daddy doesn't like it when I scream.

Momma doesn't either,
it makes it easier for her to pretend.

Our family is made of plastic
and I'm melting.
