You broke me
Every day
I get up and question my life
The things you did to me and my body
And now I feel unworthy.
I feel it’s hard for others to love me
Even harder for me to love myself
I give up, it’s true
I hope out there
Somewhere
You feel the pain that I do.
I can’t even look at my body
Without shivering at the thought of your hands on me.
You broke me down, tossed me around.
I took it.
But this pain I can take no longer.
