As the whip landed,
The pain coursed through my body,
I felt the tears begin to form,
but no!
I won't give them the satisfaction,
the joy of making them know
that they had hurt me
The whip landed again
I closed my eyes,
my soul floated out of my body
my mind, out of consciousness
till the pain vanished
this is my everyday story
I, an unwanted child
