A/N: this is my entry for FADV, which raised $2,645. What an amazing job!
I Am
I am torn apart
broken
there is nothing left of me
you have taken everything
my will to live
survive
thrive
I am no longer the person I was before
you have stripped me with your words
your hands
I am but a shell
I once loved you
adored you
I would have done anything
said anything
but I am lifeless
my eyes tell a story of pain
my bones are weak
my skin fragile
I wince on contact
I am not strong
I am not powerful
I will comply
I will obey
I am trained
but I have just enough fight
to rise up
to fight back
to become strong once again.
