i am unknown. afraid.
alone.
the abuser.
my accuser.
names me. loser.
his fists. land.
i hang. by a strand.
i’m not allowed. to stand.
he is barbaric. cruel.
i feel like. a fool.
desperate to breathe.
i long for. reprieve.
for now. i grieve.
to christ. i cleave.
one day. i will leave.
pain. terror. aloneness.
jesus will. relieve
though i hurt. fall.
crawl.
he hears. my anguished call.
i am not.
alone.
i believe.
he knows.
knows all.
