Broken by conflict,
Damaged by pain,
Parked in the dark,
Where my demons remain,
Shattered by silence,
Cowered by screams,
Bogged in a fog,
Of my desolate dreams.
Savaged by torment,
Crippled by cries,
Stuck in the muck,
Of contemptuous lies,
Wounded by turmoil,
Mangled by bait,
Caught by the wrought,
Of a perilous hate.
Beaten by feelings,
Punished by mood,
Trapped by the saps,
Of societies brood,
Scalded by moments,
Tortured by thought,
Left so bereft,
By the visions I sought.
Broken by conflict,
Damaged by pain,
My crux is in flux,
Will I always remain,
Shattered by silence,
Frozen by fright,
A page full of rage,
All alone in the night.
