Unforeseen Battle

Sat in the corner, trapped in my thoughts
Sat in the corner, sick of all the fights i've fought
Listening to the sound, oh wait there's none
Because everyone around me have left and gone

Shredded into pieces and left to bleed
This everlasting sadness is like a growing seed
Laid on the floor, hoping my heart would stop beating
Lost count of how many days I haven't eaten

Sat on the side watching the current flow
Watching my ghost float, see where it goes
Admiring the bruises that littered my skin
I know i've lost the battle, i've let the haters win

Wish I could stand and let myself start afresh
But how could I do that if i've been beaten on the flesh
The stars have faded and my hopes have dissolved
The pain that i've been through, why was I involved

I see the darkness but don't see any light
obscene flashbacks obstructed my sight
Wish I could break out and roam around free
So I could have the chance to see the true me

The page turns wishing this story would end
But no, they're haunting me around every bend
The curtains draw to a close and the lights dim out
Nothing will change, I have no doubt 

I throw my weapons down and raise my arms in surrender
Eyes look upon me cos i'm in the centre
I await my horror as i'm escorted from the castle
Don't wanna look back at this unforeseen battle

Wow, this is a very sad poem. Really made me feel sad. Nicely done! And I love the last stanza. That is my favorite :)
