shut them out, as I suffer to breathe

Where are the words?

Can we talk instead of scream?

My opinion remains unheard

The violent escapade 

on the frigid ground, I laid

he charged at me, 

my body became comfortably weak

I can't speak

nothing to utter

unable to stutter

the anger from him leaks

killed me with those degrading words

as he sucked the life out of me

made my broken heart burn

my weakened soul dropped to its knees

Nobody can shatter these towering walls,

that accumulate concrete bricks

They never cease or fall

together, they will forever stick

Incapable of trust

my own blood put me to shame

nothing was ever enough

complaints remain beside my name

Being myself is a difficult task

they don't pay attention

to the potential I have

my soul yearns for redemption

Took the slight courage I once had,

reminded me of what I lacked

Blamed myself,

a constant, fatal cry for help

Inside and out,

I was abused

Faceless, defused

Nobody heard me shout

Scars and bones revealed my pain

everyday remained the same

Nobody saw through my blank, frigid stare

stuck in the depths of despair.
