Stuck in a perpetual cycle of violence
Scars being left amidst the carnage
Alone I suffer this in silence
My sanity scattered among the wreckage,
( suffering, alone, helpless )
Frayed and worn its the same old choice
Drown out the memories in this pain
Feeling lost, alone with this useless voice
It seems that I have finally gone insane,
( tired, lost, frightened )
Why should i get up off the floor
I'd much rather disappear
I just don't want to be hurt anymore
Why can't i get away from here,
( running, fading, falling )
I'll always be by myself i thought
Till they tore me away
Friends that i had always fought
Confronted me and left me with nothing to say
( denying, lying, hiding )
I know that there is no excuse
For this horrible thing i do
This chaotic pattern of recurring self-abuse
That others fail to see is true,
( shamed, shunned, forgotten )
Only my true friends can see whats going on
They can remove me from this hell i live in
This feeling of total despair is gone
As they put my soul back together within,
( healed, saved, loved )

Hmm, I liked this Ronin. Once again you have put me in a situation where I usually don't like that type of poetry. Good job, and good luck.
