Agony Poem by James Casey

Agony

In this little corner of the world
That I have chosen
I'll stay in the shadows,
Where I'll remain frozen

For you and the others have beaten
Abused and betrayed me
Sent me into the darkness
Where I could not see

My heart has been
Scattered across the land
So I've curled up here,
Waiting for my mind to mend

Now that I have torn free
From you... all your chains
I am still frozen
By this unbearable pain

But soon I will regain my strength,
Which may take awhile
I will find myself and live a life,
Enlightened, if only, by a my smile
