Suffocating 10-21-2009
Tortured by the vivid dreams,
that haunt me while I sleep.
The many scars that define my life,
this pain I feel runs deep.
Sheltered by the fear of it all,
I'm loosing all control.
Locked away inside myself,
swallowed as a whole.
The walls are closing in on me,
I'm screaming I want out.
Suffocating with every breath I take,
left with insecurity and doubt.
Broken down piece by piece,
damaged beyond repair.
Grounded down, frozen in fear,
how much more do I have to bare.
I lost my independence, my soul,
that stormy October night.
Ripped away without a second thought,
no strength in me to fight.
Suffering the reprecutions,
of the violence he has shown.
Thrown into an unspeakable place,
scared and all alone.
Struggling from day to day,
for a place to day the blame.
Constantly reminded of what he took from me,
held captive in the shame.
