The Age of Mighty Darkness

In the light of my new age

almost there

though I'm shrouded by a darkness

an emptiness

i used to think i wouldn't make it to 14

and here i am

days away from 16

I thought my age of mighty darkness had passed

but like a season or the rain

it always comes back

i spend my days wising i was okay

wishing i truly had someone to talk to

but no knows what its like

to be harassed

blackmailed

groomed

abused

nobody knows it like i do

not in this small town

where everyone has happy lives

where everyone has never had a bad day in their entire life

everyone gasps when they hear a small bite of the hurt

like it hurts them

if only they saw what it did to me

it broke me

stepped on my once innocent heart

ended what ever childhood wonder i had left

i live forever in the age of mighty darkness

forever in this hole.

at least it's safe.
