Hunted

In of world of darkness
Expect to be betrayed      
If you let them
They will always stay
They will feed on your purity
And not once stray
Try to keep your insecurities at bay
Hide them in a box
Tuck them away
If not, it’s just more for them to prey
They don’t care about you
Much to your dismay

It’s happened more than once
And dying isn’t an option
Though I feel I am half a person
I do know one thing for certain
I refuse to let them get away
For they have caused copious amounts of pain

They may have mangled my frame
They have crippled my heart
And I know I will never be the same
But I do know through the powers of my brain
I will once again rightfully claim
My innocents and shun this shame.
