Abused

I am in a constant state, for my mind has been bruised, infected by a continuing barrage intended to keep me subservient. I feel as if I am lost, disbelief has set in. What cruelty will I endure before I am broken? Scars are hidden by my own shame, unwilling to seek comfort from the one's I cherish. What have I become, allowing the horror to fester, this terror that controls my life? This all has to end, NOW!
