(Trigger Warning: Sexual Abuse)
Broken and shattered
Are the glass shards
Which have my body marred
And my heart scarred
Crooked and twisted
Are the metal pieces
Which have my back pierced
And my mind with pain versed
I am crying, I am hurting
My eyes are resonating agony
I am bleeding, I am struggling
My ears are amplifying this cacophony
Help me - I'm drowning
In this dark sea of hopelessness
Save me - I am dying
In this lost world that is now a mess.
That cane - thin, but gashing
I can still hear it lashing
Against my gentle, soft skin tender
Forcing me to then surrender
That spot - in that lone ghost-town
Where I was brutally pinned down
Despite my vehement fulminations
Thus rendering me futile during that predation
I am aching as I am facing
My last few days alone
I am anguishing as I am bandaging
With time the wounds that have but grown
Save my skin - I mean it literally
For I no longer recognize the one in the mirror
Succour me - from this villainy
For my end is inching ever nearer
I cannot speak, I cannot talk
Though, do not mistake my silence for fear
I am impeded by my tongue speared
Whilst I am with Death at crosswalks
I cannot move, I am motionless
But, do not misinterpret my immobility
I am prevented by my castrated disability
Whilst my breath I lose and become restless
I know now what my future holds
I know now what lies at the end of this road
For my mind with pain will continue to reel
For these bruises and wounds will never heal
I was exploited and illtreated
Made a victim of the most heinous crime
I was mauled and molested
Inflicted horrors upon, maimed and mimed
Now as I mosey along to
Embrace dear old Death
I whisper under my breath
“Dear ‘man’kind this one thing you must do.
Spare the others that you
Planned on roping into this spiteful hap.”
And as Death around me his arms wraps
I hope that my wish comes true.
