Battered

Battered

A Poem by Holly O'Brien






















I breathe
But the intoxicating scents that I am inhaling against my will punish me with sickness
Lies and doctrines thrown at my face and spilt in my food
I am battling against an unknown enemy
And I take the blows as if I deserve them
These things make me weak, they make me fear everything
Too lazy to die, I am usually surrendering with much dignity
Expecting a prize when I never even valued myself
