Shattered alive, disconnected thoughts -
Haggard life penetrable by cutting wounds
And withered faces of past.
Touching burns wasted skin,
Today is no different than yesterday.
Echoes of abusive laughter resound.
Regurgitated words inside my head
Eat my being like Evil’s worms -
Dying from the inside out.
Anguish from childhood cruelty -
Leftover parts clutch desecrated memories
In compartmentalized receptacles of darkness.
Vile theft of heart and soul
Ended days of youth and innocence.

Well done, a nice job of using the phrase as the base and still giving the writting meaning.
