Broken : Adult Poetry

Broken

I struggle to hold

Bruised esteem high

I make an excuse

For another black eye

Ashamed of life

Degraded am I

I am left without

The privilege to cry

Wanting your comfort

Love me please

You don’t even

Recognize me

I am garbage

Kicked over rot

Left ignored

For all who’ve forgot

Like dog pissed bark

I am stained

Left to decompose

My soul is maimed

I have mastered

My births role well

I loathe

I am hated

I exist

In

Hell.
