The Black Out

Pounds of make up
Cover her face
If only they saw
What she wished to erase

Long shirts and jackets
Cover her arms
If only they saw
The blood and scars

Beaten and bruised
She feels alone
Destroyed and reused

How much more
Can she take?
These feelings
She cannot shake

Her mother turns her back
To her one "mistake"
While he attacks

He's the reason
For the make up
The mask she wears
As a sad cover up

She has no way
To get out
Her only escape
Is the black out
