Broken Down Soul

The way I see it, it's me not you

I begin to believe the thing you said were true

All my thoughts of being something

Should have been ones of being nothing

An empty shell of what you made

Many of nights for my soul back I prayed

But you seem to have the power of control

With each phone call deeper you dug my hole

Dwindling away from my confident self

Parents and friends concerned for my health

I have no feelings inside to share

I've been beaten down so why bother to care

For what you said was so unbelievably true

There isn't a single thing I can do.

Mistake from birth, a let down at heart

Unwanted by you from the very start

Understood by your glance

Almost as if  stuck in a trace

Suffering from your kinda care

Disobey I wouldn't dare

Unwanted and paying my tole

For I am just a Broken Down Soul.














Author's Notes/Comments: 

A fathers power over a child can be the worst at times. When I was younger I was easy to make am impression on, in this case a bad one. It was not good for my self esteem, but i am slowly getting through it,I feel much better about myself but am still very much full of modesty.

SOmetimes its just one person who shapes us Sometimes its a group, that can shake your personality, make you question who you are, make you believe you are nothing....then it takes forever to climb back to the top But you'll make it, dont look back ~^^~
