With broken bones I seek strength to stand
To be unaided with another man
Left alone with only hopes and dreams
He kills me with what I thought was nothing
Every needle will leave it's mark
This one happened too strike my heart
Raped of joy and happiness
I'm left in the position of loneliness
Bitter and shaking I plunge to the floor
Begging my legs to walk out the door
First time I let myself open to feel again
I'm betrayed for who I thought was a friend
So I’ll crawl back in my hole to never see
Because what is done is always done to me
yeah

Hey Tiffany - liked your poem that spoke to me of your impotence in the face of a powerful abuser. I see this poem as a statement of negation, of little hope and strength to fight back and when you do the new person simply betrays you again - a "friend". I have seen your pic and can't believe this is based on reality - you're so nice. Take care. camus xx

Powerful images
I didn't like the title, as it didn't communicate anything to me. But the rest of the words were pretty mean, raw, effective images.
At the end of it, I am left, out of breath, screaming for you to get up. Screaming for you to take charge of your life. Screaming for you to scream.

I want to add...
Then one day, the invader came
striding into my hole, always the same
An ugly look of vile contempt
A dangerous need to inflict pain
Fixing the coward, eye to eye
Straightening up, playing his game
Crushing him, witherng him
My eyes flash, my soul aflame
Finally truth, revealed at last
The coward can't hurt me anymore
His spell broken, his power gone
I am worth something, I matter, I'm important, Hell with this... I'm out the door.
...
Take care of yourself. Don't let life get you down.
