Hurt
All I felt was pain
Not physical, not mental
But emotional
Nothing could describe my hurting
Your words and actions scorched me
Ripped me to pieces
You don’t realize how I bleed inside
I have been robbed of my life’s treasure
My world is fading
As I stand back and watch
I’m like a wounded soldier that will never recover
My cuts will never heal
I’m branded with scars,
But scars you will never see
I cannot move on, I cannot forget
It is the one thing above all
I shall remember on my death bed
I am so vulnerable
The world has turned against me
I shrink into the shadows
Alone, no one to turn to
I am yet a burden to you
I try to fight back
I rise, I stumble and I fall
I’m weak and helpless
My anger, pain and sorrow is immense
Slowly it kills me inside
I can do nothing but lie here
And weep, weep, weep
