Page 164 of Pierce Me

They killed you

Every day for years and years

And you are still alive but they’ve killed your spirit

Your parents, your teachers, your friends

Those who were supposed to help you grow

To help you play

To help you exist

To do anything they wanted

Except destroy you.

But they failed.

And they killed you.

But you’re still alive.

You were too young to fight back

And too young to kill

So they left you alive

but they didn’t let you live

And you don’t want to stay.

So you don’t want to stay.

Count on your fingers as I speak

(you’ll be left with none).

So many reasons you don’t want to stay.

I won’t give you a reason to stay.

Except:

Me.

You know what they did to me

(I told you)

(the TV told you).

Read my story

(You already know it)

You know what they did to me
