Abused Soul
Playing with your mind
Taking your emotions and
casting them aside
not just inflicting
black and blue
but scars that
never heal inside your soul
Taking away your freedom
demeaning yourself as a person
stripping away self-respect, dignity
The scars may heal
the soul never will
The mind can be rebuilt
never will it forget
You can turn your emotions off
so you don't have to feel
You can black out the ugliness
unlock the cage
What becomes of your existence
You are a shell of what you use to be
Empty soul damaged forgotten
Don't you count for something
Are you to go through life
always apologizing for your
short comings
Your abuse soul doesn't act
it reacts to the abuse
that has crumbled and
crippled your self
You only see darkness no matter
how bright the light shines
Darkness is a welcome retreat
you don't have to see a reflection of the
pain in your eyes
Eyes that are no longer alive
Eyes that no longer cry
Eyes that look straight through
your abused soul
