30 day challenge

Tainted

My heart is black.

Stained with hatred

and malevolence. I bleed

black to get rid of the

pain that gathers in my

body.

My life has turned

into a living hell.

I will destroy those

who slaughtered me.

They tore away my love,

took away my hope and faith,

until nothing but hate and

fury were left.

I hide my

feelings deep within myself.

You see me.

Day in and day out.

I act like one of you.

But can you not see my pain?

Can you not help me?

Their words hurt like

sticks and stones.

But instead of breaking my

bones, they annihilate me.

Who I am, who I was,

and what I will become.

Each word pierces me like

a stake to the heart.

I cover up my wounds

with laughs and smiles,

but when I'm alone, I cry.

I'm scared, I'm lonely.

I just want to feel loved.

But not even a compliment

or a smile coming my way

will save me- not that many

get to me. My heart has been

obviated, and nothing can

repair it. It can never be healed

or brought back to the

way it once was. But

maybe I can grow a new one.

One that isn't stained black

with prejudice and sacrifice.

Maybe, just maybe.

But it does not do to

dwell on dreams.

So help, and make it a

reality.
