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
