Ashes

My skin was soft and smooth to touch—
but now it’s been thru way too much,
scarred and covered in grime—
I’m trapped beneath a constant crime.

The pain bites as he grinds me raw—
always wants to give me more,
jabs through every inch inside—
then snuffs me out when I cry.
.
Ever downward I am pressed—
in misery I find my rest,
slowly burns me down—
the ashes lull me numb.

Can’t reclaim my life anew—
there’s nothing I can do,
just waiting to be thrown away—
no one hangs for this disgrace.

Jabs through every inch inside—
then snuffs me out when I cry,
slowly burns me down—
the ashes lull me numb.

Scarred and covered in grime—
I’m trapped beneath a constant crime,
just waiting to be thrown away—
no one hangs for this disgrace.
