Love Poem: Abused

Written by: Craig Mahler

Abused

I am in a constant state,
for my mind has been bruised,
infected by a continuing barrage
intended to keep me subservient.
I feel as if I am lost,
disbelief has set in.
What cruelty will I endure
before I am broken?
Scars are hidden by my own shame,
unwilling to seek comfort
from the one's I cherish.
What have I become,
allowing the horror to fester,
this terror that controls my life?
This all has to end,
NOW!
