Me

Lost in the deepest shadow
Alone and afraid
I stand in silence
There's no room to be brave
Mangled and distraught
Any happiness will be forgot  
Afraid for the future
The past is long gone
No matter the outcome
All will be said and done
My strength is my weaknesses
And away I go
To never be in pain
And the abuse has faded
I no speak words
My silence isn't heard
The cycle begins
And I'm dead again
