In The Corner

In The Corner

Standing in 

The corner

Lonely 

Broken

Holding on 

To my 

Fragments

Of my

Brokenness 

Pieces

Punished

Battered

And Bruised

Weak

Form your 

Verbal lashing

Ripping my soul

Cutting my ego

Stomping my emotions

Castrating my mind

Killing my heart

Standing 

In the corner

Hoping 

Wishing

Praying

It will stop

To End

Be done

Yet

I stand

In

The

Corner

Waiting

Thirsty 

At the 

Needing

To be

Accepted

Validated

Enough

In the corner

Waiting 

In the Corner
