Abused

This love of hatred penetrates my numbness and breathes life My pain consumes my source—always full with strife. Overwhelmed I run blindly toward a distant ending Begging silently for a willing warrior my soul defending. Oh, to overcome this darkness with me as the only light Suffering and ashamed I urge on with this fight. Fear wrenches my head and speaks loudly to my deaf ear Its sound pierces and eagerly takes what I hold dear. Scars unseen and so deep no one sees I smile through the pain with no comfort to ease My blamelessness ripped away by hands that I love Shattered pieces!--I struggle, my head barely above. My battle unquiet ting fake peace that I’ve found Learning to rise above but come crashing back down. Guiltily I look now and see you committed this crime But for my whole life—YOUR sin, but I do the time.
