broken body

a body full of heath

now broken

 

tossed into a wall

bones juggled around

like a bouncing ball

 

nerves shattered

like book spines

never to react the same

 

muscles snapped

like rubber bands

never to be able to stretch the same way

 

pain from these wrongs

always felt

though they be dealt by another hand

 

this hand see's so punishment

the victim no reprieve

 

broken body

why no response

we are the ones hurting

 

see the agony we feel

let others here our words

 

sins of the wrong

victim being punished

though we be innocent

 

the real culprit walking

away in innocence

Notes

this is about how my body was damaged and the person responsible for it walking away without punishment, and me having to always deal with the pain for there is no cure.
