Emily Martin - My Body

Crimson tears fill my eyes
Bruises bloom upon my skin
Ragged scars outline my heart
Violent words defil my mind
Empty threats fall to my deaf ears
Poisoned blood runs through my veins
Howling screams errupt from my mout
Broken glass embedded in my feet
Blistering welts cover my back
Invisible hands tear my spirit
Never-ending fear disolves my voice
Deadly pressure numbs my hands
Ghostly pain breaks my spine
Devilish loss shatters my soul
Crippled features compose my face
Life's pressures crush my bones
