Emotional Voice Of The Abused Poem by Bongiwe Tom

You, you have damaged my heart.
It has become so dark
I am infected by your bitterness
I am suffering,
Due to the ripening fruit,
Of your poisonous creation
As a result,
I have no direction.

I would like to be strong,
But you have weakened me,
I cannot grow,
Because you have kept me still
I want to fly,
But you keep me crawling.

You are the bad voice,
In my conscious
Overpowering me
That bitter voice,
Telling me what a burden I am
Telling me what a curse I am
Telling me how useless I am
I thought I left it all,
But it is within me
You haunt me,
Although you are not dead.
In me you have created, A version
Of the bitter,
Unloving you - Maybe even worse
I was innocent,
Until you damaged me holistically
And yes, the damage is done! The damage is done!
