Consummate Victim

Consummate Victim

One moment, let innocence shatter
Now frozen, life altering patterns
Exposing a painful immersion
Embossing itself on your person

A cycle, a circle like cancer
Recycle your constant disasters
Unlike you, I have no excuses
I fight through, for my restitution

And I don't trust and I don't need
Anyone or anything
And I don't really give a damn,
Lonely as I am.
Painful lessons learned in life
Trust will only lead to strife
Reality cuts like a knife
Bleed through it like a man!

Its over, Im through being tender
Thrice broken, refuse to surrender
Outspoken, I've heard all the lies
Unbroken, I've learned from the why's

Your broken, and you need a fixing
Soft spoken, the consummate victim
Exposing all of your secrets
A token, personified weakness

And I don't trust and I don't need
Anyone or anything
And I don't really give a damn,
Lonely as I am.
Painful lessons learned in life
Trust will only lead to strife
Reality cuts like a knife
Bleed through it if you can

The first stanza or verse is awesome, nice rhymes

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
