Inside her mind

She sits and stares,
thinks and dreams,
from inside her mind,
a child's voice screams.
Her eyes glaze over
tears stream down her face,
the memories of a past,
she cannot erase.
She closes her eyes,
but the vision is real,
the child inside quivers
from the shame she feels.
The sadness spills over,
her hands begin to shake
as the anger of the adult,
slowly begins to wake.
From inside her mind
