Numb Waist Down

The cememnt walls are five inches thick

And I've tried for years to break just a centimetre throughout

It's barely noticeable yet you saw it

And punished me for breaking it

It's dark and cold down here

And even when you come to hurt me

Your body warmth chills my veins

If anybody knew, they'd thrown you in prison

Because I can count more scars than numbers now

And you've broken my mental barrier, my own calm and peace

I don't know who I am living for now

And I''m numb waist down

From all your torture and unsentimental scars, no mercy

I'm numb in my head

From thinking of ways to escape this

You starve me, forced anorexia, to make me skinnier

And you're all that I have

That makes me sick

I don't have a piece of lint to be my friend, don't have a strip of fabric to call home

My family has given up and now I can't breathe

I've tried chocking myself but my subconscious doesn't listen to the sign

I've tried biting my arm off but I only got a few drop of blood

The blood tasted salty on my lips

It stained my perfect face, you said

And then you slapped me for it ironically

And slapped me other places

It's discouraging that there are no corners in this room for me to plant myself on

There is nothing I have anymore

I can't refuse to eat or refuse at all

I succumb to the fear of future pain

And do what you say---why can't you just let me go?

I"m numb everywhere, numb from my sanity, numb from your torture

I'm numb waist down
