Battered
Bruised
Tattered
Abused

Staring out through a sea of tears
Wasted by too many years
Pain too much to bear
She no longer cares

Who am I
She asks herself
Long ago
She was put on a shelf
Identity has been all but lost
Shes paid the cost
Lost herself in a mans arms
Believed lies meant to charm

No turning back the hands of the clock
She'd better run and not walk
Her strength has left her like a whirlwind
Too late for her heart to mend

Can she ever be free from this world of fear
Will the way ever be clear
Gotta go
Before it gets too dark to see
Gotta go
Before he gets to me
She tells herself these things night after night
But shes too beat to put up a fight.

I feel so sorry for her, fighting her demons so, but with hope and love, she can conquer him and conquer all!  Well written

Isis has a point. We all have demons to fight. The key is to let loved ones in to help you fight the battle. Draw from their strength.

My heart has broken for so many women who realize, sometimes too late, that they "believed lies meant to charm."  However, there are life lines if one just reaches out for them. Well done.
