Breaking Point

Come on and break me down
finding the spot not yet found
as you tear my knees to the ground 
wearing arrogance as if its your crown
as if its life
as if a right, that's yet been unspoken
can heal this heart too often broken
twisting like a knife
breaking through my souls skin
leaving me alone and twisted
erasing my rules never before listed 
all caught up in this sin
of which I can't escape 
of which I can't win

I really like this, it has good flow and the symbolism is very thought evoking. Good Job!
