INTO THE ARMS OF CONSOLATION

INTO THE ARMS OF CONSOLATION

I was trying to be the good girl

And do what I was told

I thought I'd be protected

If I was good as gold

But it didn't really matter

How good that I could be

​​​​​​My personal growth was stripped

Of all vitality

I lost the sense of who I was
​​​
Fading in and out of sight

I became a shadow of myself

A silhouette in the night

There was no light or laughter

No joy or peace of any kind

I sat in  darkness, helplessness

As fear pervaded my mind

No matter how bad that life can be

The world keeps going on

So I ran into the arms of consolation

Until I thought the threat was gone

But now it's ME, not my abusers

That keeps me in this living hell

Controlled by the fears of a wounded child

Who won't come out of her shell
