Broken in spirits,
And broken in thoughts.
Deprived of every joy
Her mind is in knots
She was fooled yet again,
In the life she detested
Everything she ever liked
Was brutally contested
The pretense was too much
She wanted to break free
Keep going on without a word
Was her family’s decree
They sold the fairytale
Again and again
Years have gone by
She has only found pain
‘Help me!’ she tried to scream
But she was dismissed by all
Each night she cried herself to sleep
Curled up into a ball
She wants this to be over
But there is no escape
Everything she ever wanted to be
Is now a blurred ugly shape
What could she possibly want
They think nothing is wrong
She is the problem they feel,
Stubborn and headstrong.
Remove the soul from the body
It will still survive
Hollow, empty and deceived
She is still alive.
