Broken, torn,
Ripped into pieces
Tattered to rags,
And left all alone

Ridiculed, scorned,
Completely shattered
Battered and bruised,
To the side thrown

Forgotten, abandoned,
Alone in the dark
Utterly hopeless,
And scared to call out

Ignored, isolated,
Trapped inside darkness
Frightened and silent,
All filled up with doubt

I felt the sting that horrid day
When nothing seemed to go my way
And now I simply have to pay
For lacking the courage these things to say…
