I feel torn to pieces. <br />Eyes of betrayal. <br />Not understanding real words. <br />Everything is blurred. <br />My body shakes <br />Shivers <br />Convulses <br />Tears unstoppable <br />The last thing I saw <br />Was your back <br />Turned from me <br />Do you hate me? <br />For whom I really am? <br />For how I am? <br />For whom I couldn’t be? <br />For how I can’t be? <br />I don’t understand <br />What you’re asking. <br />I can’t change <br />With just a snap of your fingers. <br />Don’t keep breaking me. <br />I can only bend so much <br />Till I am absolutely nothing <br />But a shadow of who <br />I want to be.<br /><br />Jennifer Ottinger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shredded/
