Erased
They told me lies
And told me truths.
They broke my mind.
And stole my youth.
They stripped my name
Devoured my choice
They took my love
And stole my voice.
They caged my hope
And caged my will
And built a robot
To obey their will
Programed to act
Do as they say
Not to think
Only obey
Programed to listen
But not to hear
Taught of silence
Taught of fear
Used for profit
I pay the wage
Only indents
Left on the page
An empty shell
Thats all to see
The faintest lines
Of what could be
Erased

Re: Erased
This evokes a lot of feeling, without being too wordy . I can almost feel the pain and loss you must feel. Very well written.
PS I read your post about the reiki experience and plan to write a reply but wanted to think about the right words before I reply. My mind is mushy from pregnancy. Thinking of you though!
