Faded
What horrors mine eyes have seen
The aches and pain of a body beaten
Scars crawling against my back
Mind still flinches remembering the pattern of attack
Innocence taken like many before
The violation on the floor
Years of senseless pain
Caused with nothing to gain
The memories I will always remember
burning low like a dying ember
And I tell the world now
With a tight little bow
A bit cracked and faded I might be
I'll never be broken
That is not for me.
