Barbed Wire

It cut, I bled It spoke, I listened It commanded, I obeyed It laughed, I wept Dirty things were done to me All painful and all true My body became a battlefield My mind split into more than a few Meanness, nastiness, anger and rage Toppled me over, time and time again Weapons formed, used against me Oh my mind so torn, lured me to the insane Taken for granted, used and tossed aside What was wrong with me? Quiet, stilled from the pain Screaming, yelling on the inside Years the disease roamed within Took me for a ride, round and round Let me out, take me off Remove these chains keeping me bound Stars shine, moon glows Father’s hand has touched my soul Standing near, watching close Fills my heart with His heavenly host Raising me up, renewing my mind Releasing the spirits, tormenters no more Casting them down in a pit of fire No more cutting, no more barbed wire
