Torn

Internal screams
Tormented,hollowed soul..
I've been conformed
And I am so cold..
You are not my master
Me-You do not own..
I now run-even faster
By myself-but not alone.
Your words seep into my head.
Anger seeps into my heart...
Your beliefs I am force fed.
I am torn apart.
Who am I?
My life I do not respect
My petty needs
You always neglect..
I'm torn.
From the outside-IN
I now run-now even faster..
Leaving you behind,, shedding old skin.
