Bowed down
Broken hearted
Spirit gone
Beaten without care
Overpowered by strength
Crushed by fake love
Vanquished self esteem
Degraded body
This was me
Now I’m gone
Buried by my family
Body couldn’t last
Heart gave out
Last beaten was too much
Caved in to the black
Gave in to the white light
This is me now
