The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

You slithered in the dark so long
But now you try to break my soul.
A few chosen words, you use to scare
And I am lost in the years you stole.
Your sickness creeping around my skin
A layer of filth than can never be cleaned,
When I felt at last I was free
You waited until my life gleamed.
Then writing yourself as a villain miscast,
And telling yourself your own poison lies
My world once more you try to shape,
You play your game with a victim’s disguise.
Oh monster, you have never bled
For you have no heart to pump blood,
No soul to feel shame or regret,
Shall I be free when you rot in mud?
But your mask has slipped down
A glimpse of your evil seen by few
Push me more and I will tear it all
And your rotten core the world will view.
