Oh! Shut my brain; Don't make me feel <br /> my pain, your pain, you've made it real. <br /> <br />You've tied down hope; I'm half as tall, <br /> where once pride stood stands none at all. <br /> <br />I've lost my breath but I can't leave, <br /> drowned by this rage I cannot breathe. <br /> <br />You've locked hate with me in your cell: <br /> A broken will wears an empty shell. <br /> <br />But numbed I'll carry on a while. <br /> My pain, my pain taught me to smile. <br /> <br />A mangled scar - I've lost my fear <br /> and found myself <br /> <br /> ... but I'm still here... <br /> <br /> <br />- October 26 2005<br /><br />David Zvekic<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/font-color-880000-scarred-font/
