Yelling, screaming
Trapped.
No one cares,
Everyone hates.
Tears silently stream
Down the weakest's face.
Alone.
Scared.
Abused.
Like a little dog
Spawns on its owner.
All she wants is a sense of love,
Of safety.
All she gets is fear
Of her own shadow.
Spiraling down
She lies.
All hope
Leaking out.
Abused.
Scared.
Alone.
Tears silently stream,
Down the strongest's face.
Everyone cares,
No one hates.
Yelling, screaming
Trapped.

I liked the flow.. Though one phrase confused me.. "Spawns on its owner." What did you mean by that?
