What You Left Me With 'Why'

Oh how I feel you have got me and feel like giving up You have ripped me apart crushed my pure heart Somehow I never won you always managed a cover-up You both destroyed me in a cruel horrible way My grandparents saw that I could never ever stay I am now being punished ripped from the inside out Now I’m empty trying to keep going with only a shout Who is listening to my cry’s of help, my life in doubt I don’t want the hurt no more the pain is to much I am struggling to get up without a helpful crutch The flame in me is getting almost extinguished All the love that’s left has totally relinquished I carry many pains like the wind carries leaves It’s torture to my heart that constantly greaves You hurt me so very bad and both never cared I never had the courage to ask why, I never dared Oh why do I keep going, being tortured this way These horrible thoughts with me every night & day The struggle gets tougher as each day passes by I keep asking God this question Why, Why, Why.

Brian you are a strong survivor with writing and speaking out through these writes. Very brave . I understand the place you are in. I have not walked in your shoes, but situations in which torture happened. Take care of yourself and trust God will guide you. Know that you are good and you can recognize what is wrong.
