Written in 2005. I had a lot of self esteem issues and was going through a rough patch in my life. I also entered this in a poetry contest and it won Editor's Choice and it was published.

Tortured Soul
I'm stripped
Sitting naked on the floor
This is the side of me
You've never seen before
I've been ripped to shreds
Torn a part
Emotional scars
Cover my heart
I've lost all my dignity
Every scrap that remained
It's all been taken from me
And now I sit here with the pain
I've been stripped
You've taken my self-worth
Feeling naked, I want to hide
Cover all the hurt
I am feeling vulnerable
As these tears run down my skin
Like nothing can protect me
And shield the soul within
I feel my strength is wavering
How much more can I endure?
I'm not sure if I can take it
Take it anymore
Yes, I have been stripped
And it will take some time before
I have picked up all the pieces
That have shattered on the floor
