Outside is a covering
Inside is a soul
Piece by piece no longer whole
His words are heartless
Left me to feel worthless
Never truly recovering
As time goes by
The hurtful things amplify
They sting and bite
Make me quiver in fright
A still thought is stirring
To stand up for what is right
Not to lose this perilous fight
Standing up tall only to later fall
Trying to overcome this greater wall
Emotions are swirling
Afraid, Depressed, Hurt
Feelings that soon will convert
Turning into an inferno of rage
It will not stop, no longer in a cage
No longer having to be praying
No more feeling weak and being in pain
The link has been broken on this ending chain
A jerk he might be
But he will always be near, for he is family
