The Sound of Broken Chains
The absence of hope behind a girl’s eyes
That use to shine so bright.
He took that from her.
She pretended to have so much life
But no one knows
behind that mask she sobs
because of the pain she hides.
She didn’t get the chance to have wonder.
A girl numb and alone,
He comes and presides over her
Laying in a bed of deceit
As she takes it with grace
Never mumbling a word.
He tears catch up as she thinks
“Your nothing but a whore”
He took the voice she had
With empty threats and unfulfilling promises.
I’m doing this for the greater good right?
A heart
That can never understand the meaning of perfection.
She’s broken.
One her knees she prays
But unanswered prayers turn into rage.
He took her peace.
She confesses
But no one listens.
They watch the words flow from her mouth
With closed ears, they simply tell her
“get over it”
The words fit like a band aid.
But even old wounds can become infected.
Being a solider for everyone around her
Makes her weak.
Who is there to wipe her tears?
Who is there to make sure she’s ok?
No one because she keeps them away.
She’s ashamed of the pain because she blames herself.
He stole her love.
Hate manifests itself
And made a home.
Look at what she did,
Nothing remains of her.
But there’s still strength in her tears.
She’s not ready to give up.
She’s tired, yes,
But there still a spec of light left.
She’s a fighter
Who has shed many tears.
The sadness she must feel.
One foot in front of the other,
She tries to keep her head up.
She runs to him and asks why?
“Why so much pain, don’t you know I can’t bare it.?”
She was lost
With her innocents gone
And HE said.
“He didn’t steal anything from you, you didn’t allow him to.”
In here now
I am your strength
Lean on me.
You have come this far,
Maybe your willing to go a little farther.
You’ve come out of your cocoon
Your sprouting wings.
The best people are the ones who grow
Despite adversity.
You were never broken
Just bruised.
You were never damaged goods for someone to use.
You are just a child who lost he way
After all that,
You stand on your own two feet
Your healing
Your beauty runs deeper than any ocean ever could.
You are strength.
Show your scares
Because you are never going to look like
What you’ve been through.
He thought he had you beat,
But in the end,
Look around you.
You are the one set free.
