Broken Toy by Artemis Rose

You take me and you break me

You use me like your little toy

And when you tired of me

You will just throw me away

You treated me like your little doll

Pushing me on your bed

I scream and I cry at you

Only it was inside my head

I return to school with bruises running all along my arms

They stop and they stare

"What happened to her?" they wonder

Although they will never learn the truth

You took me and you broke me

Snatching away what little dignity I already own

So you left me and now I'm alone

I'm afraid to trust anyone

Afraid that they might treat me the same way you did

All those restless nights of me fighting to get away will never leave my mind.

I'm scarred forever now

Wherever I go I know you will find me

And when you find me you will only push on me worse and worse

Using me only for your petty games

Only for you pleasure

Will you put me on your shelf to show off to your little friends?

Passing me along so they can use me the same way you did

I won't let it happen

I want it to stop

I will make it all end

And I will live my own life

But you're a monster

A terrible nightmare

One I will never get away from

No matter how hard I try
