Unnameable
Ripped from womb
Slapped to teens
Used by all
trapped within this fleshy cage
Anger feed upon my emotions
And slowly changes all to replicate its form
Life sits upon me squeezing air from my broken core
Held together by bruises and cuts
This bitter heart responsible for killing all thats sweet
This savage soul ripping the body from within
My screaming tears soften hardened flesh
Escape no option, freedom chained to death
This cage was chosen wisely
Suicide would kill the beast
But whos the savage then
The keeper and the captive
Both untamed
and never to be named
