Running to escape the evil beast
It follows close, innocence is it's prey
The putrid stench of its odor draws nigh
A tiny soul prays for the break of day

Little child oh so innocent once
Forced to be a woman far before her time
She cries so softly all alone in her fear
No one to save her from this crime

She finds no refuge in her mother
The cruelties of her hands, the hardness of her soul
She wraps herself in the warmth of a blanket
Trying to hide her childish dreams in a safe hole

For her she knows there will never be escape
She knows her purgatory will never end
The seething nasty pit known as Daddy
Keeps touching, her sanity will never mend

So easy to let her mind slip slowly away
Never to feel or care ever more
But her inner voice screams, "Don't let him win"
In triumph her sanity and soul sore

So evil beast I know as Father
And nasty witch I know as Mother
Your abuse and horror I will suffer
But my soul and sanity belongs to ME and no other
