Poetry: Inner struggles

If I could change the world
erase the night.
Destroy my demons
and make it all right.

Respect myself,
regain my trust.
Remember my daddy,
instead of his lust.

Then Id be whole,
not split in two.
Fighting within,
not knowing whats true.

Unspeakable acts
are unspeakable words.
on deaf ears they fall,
never to be heard.

No control then,
no control now.
Just living this life,
the best I know how.
