Tormented
Men are the devils of the earth, and the animals are it's tormented souls........Arthur Selopenhauer.
Tormented.
Skin as pale as death
eyes bloodshot as hell
those are the features that
make up my damaged soul
a life full of grief
Everyone has their demons to slay
my demons fought me
they slew and prevailed over me
Freak, witch, unwanted, evil
are some of my many names
that I have come to accept
head slamming against concrete walls
red liquid drips down
the sides of my face like art on canvas
the pungent smell of blood
is as perfume to my nose
black dots draws me in
i give in to the darkness drawing me in
The darkness fills me
it becomes one with my soul
I feel alive but I know
deep down that I am long dead
My body forever holds the colours
blue and black
I am a broken vessel
a long forgotten
the abuse swallowed me whole
now I see my body clad In white
inside my coffin___brown
I see my abusers crying.
I was once born by my tormentors
I was once abused by those who bore me
now I have died by their hands
they gave me life and they snatched it from me
I was never loved
I read books about transition but
I don't see the light___it spoke about
so now I will live the rest of eternity
tormenting my tormentors.
