They broke me with the shadows;
Fears and uncertainty,
loss haunting me,
till hope turned towards
celestial possibilities.
They broke me with love;
One father figure
who I figure
has something better
for me.
They broke me with confusion;
Contradicting rules
cornering this fool
till, I submitted.
And when I didn’t,
they broke me with fear
and hellfire.
Till, I either died
or gave in
to their desires.
