Emotional Abuse

Emotional Abuse

Within the confines of the prison

Lies an abandoned soul

Heโ€™s looking through the shattered prism

For emotions to take hold

Heโ€™s searching for the pain and pleasure

To acquire a human form

Within the exploration

Begins the evil storm

Security is distant

And melancholy strikes

The victim is resistant

And hides his saddened eyes

The sense of self is broken

The roles are undefined

A place of isolation

In a lost and cluttered mind

Intolerable injustice

Insufferable grief

Unbearable confusion

In answers that he seeks

Reclaiming the connection

Is his essential feat

He must untangle cobwebs

That frame over his deceit

Obstructions are arising

And trust is growing dim

There gathers disappointment

The outlook being grim

His only expectation

Must come from unity

And gathered from a viewpoint

Of sensibility

Oh, rise up our hero

And care for your own self

Youโ€™ll come out of destruction

And cease this torturous hellโ€ฆ.
