I Can't Go Back

My ribs are broken, my heart is shattered,
Now I lay on the floor, beaten and battered. 

They said that they cared, they said they believed,
But whatever they had hope for, it surely wasn't me.

Now I feel trapped, I don't know how to leave,
It feels like I am prison to a web I cannot unweave.

Why can I not be what is expected?
It appears from the world I am disconnected.

For what reason am I not able to escape the madness? 
For when it leaves, the void is only replaced by sadness.

Everyday it feels as if I cannot catch a break,
Each morning I truthfully hope I don't wake.

I know not who I am when I look at my reflection,
Changed who I was for fear of rejection. 

The modifications made, made no change to my life,
Instead, the emptiness left me with a knife.

A knife, to use to change what I couldn't, 
No matter how all that I'd learned tells me I shouldn't. 

It does not hurt as much as I had predicted,
This pain, in fact, I have become addicted.

There is no going back from what I've created,
This monster that lives inside, made of everything I hated.
