Jennifer Ottinger - Shredded

I feel torn to pieces.
Eyes of betrayal.
Not understanding real words.
Everything is blurred.
My body shakes
Shivers
Convulses
Tears unstoppable
The last thing I saw
Was your back
Turned from me
Do you hate me?
For whom I really am?
For how I am?
For whom I couldn’t be?
For how I can’t be?
I don’t understand
What you’re asking.
I can’t change
With just a snap of your fingers.
Don’t keep breaking me.
I can only bend so much
Till I am absolutely nothing
But a shadow of who
I want to be.
