Living Nightmare

One final blow and I slip into the unconscious

The shadows make their way over to my broken body

I try to open my eyes but I can’t see past the blood

Tears slowly roll down my face, falling into my palm

I try to stand but I fall to my knees

My body reeks of betrayal

I’ve seen things that no one should ever see

I’ve felt things that no one should ever feel

I am worthless in the eyes of my abuser

What would you do if you mouth was stitched shut?

If your eyes were blinded by evil?

If being alone felt like needles were penetrating your dying heart?

I push myself up once more and walk over to the shattered mirror

Who will love me now?

I examine my appearance once more before I paint on my fake smile

No can help me, I am broken

One final look back at my nightmare and I walk out into the shallow world

I’ve never been more alone
