I Have a Scar

I have some scars on my thighs, but I have one scar greater and deeper than the others. I'm not sure when it will heal or if it ever will. This scar is embedded in my heart. It grows by the day. I have been stuck living with amazing people but a person I can only describe as evil visits everyday. I want to feel safe in my own home but I don't think I can. He hurts my mom, physically and mentally. He hurts me mentally but I fear one day it may be physical. I try to escape but I can not. I have no money to leave. No where else to go. I try everyday but my attempts fail. With every failure comes a deeper cut. With every cut I lose hope. The only one who keeps me alive is my love. Because I know one day he will have the means we need to save me from this place.

But until then my scar will grow. My heart will ache. And my hope will fade.
