I cried today.

I CRIED TODAY'

I cried today'
unburied in the open,
unable to hold in the pain,
the hurt filled with loneliness
in this dark isolated world.
I Hear only my tears, 
As they filled His jars.
the sex, the violence
took ahold of me.
Lied in shame, covered in guilt. 
I was revealed naked
for All Man to See.
Thoughts of suicide 
if only I could. 
Too strong for so many years.
I've dropped to my knees, 
Fell to my face, 
I've surrendered
to this crime you gagged me to.
Unable to catch a Breath.
Why have I been tossed aside?
Kicked to the curb, 
tormented, stomped upon.
A Prisoner of Hope, I Remain. 
The parental tone
I've heard over again.
I'm not your baby girl
I am the abused child
who can't hold on. 
Who is this I've become?
The addictions, the booze
is my identity I surrender to.
I thought there was love
but only to be fooled.
I want to thank you,
for this torture, 
I live with everyday
because of you
I was able to cry today'
