Every night's terror,

      Is a conviction born of an abused into abusive human being thriving on that which withers from the phantoms of its decay, Hatred inspired by a prison of silence unwilling to stand... Until it could not any more... Crippled by wounds for which there was no magical help emergency trap line door to last dial stand call!

In lieu of,
Giving thanks...
For being alive
Standing up to...
Death in your lover's eyes!
