Analysis of Torture
This agonizing pain is torturing me
I hide it from the world so nobody can see
Deep inside me, wanting out
But I cannot scream or shout
Alone in my room I let the emotions
Pour out like a raging ocean
Screaming into my pillow so no one can hear
My anger, my despair, my loneliness and fear
Then I act OK again
My emotions blow away in the wind
Again, I'm just an average girl
Alone in this dark sadistic world
