Death of Nightmare

February 4, 2013
By Anonymous

Hey there
little kitty
Come sit in Papa's lap,
Shh now
little girl
Let's keep a secret,
Monsters in the dark
I hide these bruises
(aim)
Goodbye Knight
with your rusted armour
A nice dream while it lasted
Goodbye 'Over the Rainbow'
and a yellow brick road,
because I can't afford that dream
not again
(pullthetrigger)
Hey Papa
let go
I won't allow it again
Yes, now
you're under my gun
I lost my fairy tale ending
now
(guesswhatyoulose)
Goodbye bogeyman
(monster'sgotabullet

The author's comments:
Let me make it clear, I am not the girl in this poem. I wanted to write about child abuse and molestation, because it's real. I was mostly inspired by Miku Hatsune's 'Musunde Hiraite Rasetsu To Mukuro', because it's about Japanese child prostitutes and what they go through.
