My wings are broken, <br />Because you discouraged me <br />My tender heart is bruised <br />Because of all the rocks you threw <br />My smile is shattered <br />Because of the words you said <br />Those words you said <br />Will burn in my soul forever <br />My body is wounded <br />Because of how you berated me <br />My lungs cannot breathe <br />Because you took away my dignity <br />My eyes are crying <br />Because you took away everything I ever loved <br /> <br />You forced me to do these things <br />And now I know why <br />Because now I feel your pain; <br />As I felt those sighs.<br /><br />Mehreen Mujeeb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/because-32/
