I will not speak

here I lay upon the floor
silent and still, I will not cry
my body is numb, my body is sore
please, I'm begging, just let me die

all over my body you can see the marks
but I will not break, I must not tell
every night they hit me while they bark
"just leave me alone!" is what I want to yell

the gashes are getting deeper
still not a peep, no not one
the pain is growing steeper
when will all of this be done

one more smack one more hit
I have admitted defeat
my time is up, I can feel it
yes, my pain is finally complete
