What I've become

The pain is always unheard 

fed by a slashing word.

Piled one after another 

no job but to smother.

To kill all feeling

with no hope of healing. 

But the results are not seen; 

you conscious is still clean. 

My heart is broken

from the cruel words spoken. 

Yet no one bats an eye 

on the scars upon my thigh.

And it goes without recollection 

the way my defection

has closed off who i am.

And no one gave a damn, 

When i stopped participating, 

and my focus began dissipating. 

I'm not who i used to be

and it's plan to see, 

When i take the time to pause, 

to see what i was; 

And appreciate who i am now

The world raises it's brow. 

For surely I'm not allowed 

to stand up be proud. 

of what they have made me become.
