My Former Self

Before you I stand
A mere shell of my
Former self

Your words cut me
As though they were
Knifes my humanity
Spills forth

Actions crush like
Fatal blows leaving
Me broken and
Defeated

Wounds heal yet the
Scares remain lessons
Learned

The once brave and
Courageous woman
That once stood in
Here in my shoes is
No more

Before you I stand
A mere shell of my
Former self
