You've Been


You've been

Broken, crushed, hit, kicked,

Shattered, busted, tripped, slit

Dropped, cut, wrecked, derailed

You've been

Destroyed, decked, bit, exhaled

You've been thrown and not caught

Lost and forgotten

You've been dictated then abandoned

Stamped, labeled, also branded,

Judged, denied, torn apart,

Burned, weakened, drained,

Corrupted, dented, and mostly, blamed

You've been a lot of awful things,

Yes, life has taken its toll,

You've been a lot of awful things,

But you've still a Beautiful soul
