Try as I may

Try as I may ... there's no end to this agony

I open my door only to find yesterday is on my door step ... she's so small and afraid still looking for new places to hide

She is so tired of fighting ... of pleading for someone to believe her ... to help her ... and so tired of running

She has faced this so many times ... trying desperately to find someone to protect her ... only to be dismissed and turned away

Then harshly reminded ... not to speak of this again

She can't comprehend what she ever did wrong ... why she just never mattered

Putting one foot in front of the other ... longing for it all to end ... just wanting some where safe ... safe to cry ... safe to scream ... safe to just let out all that tortures her soul without the worry of another punishment

Try as I may ... I am so lost and cannot find my way.
