Shattered
Incessantly the drums beat in my head,
Smouldering reminders of memories long shed,
Unconvincingly I enact a farce of contentment,
Forever fearsome of dredging futile moments,
Repressed void snakes into wanton chapters,
Vicious cycles of torment and torture enters,
Slander and subordination rule yonder,
Creating havoc,shame and plunder,
Virile strengths crave empowering,
Troubled minds ache for aiding,
Smear campaigns disgrace innocence,
Hurtful lies bred pure malevolence,
Encumbered by atrocities I retire defeated,
Disdained by faith I withdraw beated!
!!!Beated is my poetic license - not an existing word at all
