Emotional Abuse
Within the confines of the prison
Lies an abandoned soul
He’s looking through the shattered prism
For emotions to take hold
He’s searching for the pain and pleasure
To acquire a human form
Within the exploration
Begins the evil storm
Security is distant
And melancholy strikes
The victim is resistant
And hides his saddened eyes
The sense of self is broken
The roles are undefined
A place of isolation
In a lost and cluttered mind
Intolerable injustice
Insufferable grief
Unbearable confusion
In answers that he seeks
Reclaiming the connection
Is his essential feat
He must untangle cobwebs
That frame over his deceit
Obstructions are arising
And trust is growing dim
There gathers disappointment
The outlook being grim
His only expectation
Must come from unity
And gathered from a viewpoint
Of sensibility
Oh, rise up our hero
And care for your own self
You’ll come out of destruction
And cease this torturous hell….
