The World That Broke Her Back

The world that broke her back,
Sits on her shoulders in flames.
Her flesh starts to tear,
But still she holds on.

Once again the problems take her down with them.
Twisting, and fighting like beasts, they crawl underneath her skin,
Pulling her from the only one she really knows;
Herself.

They're snickering, and pointing fingers.
They point fingers and blame her,
And she listens.
She listens to every single accusation.
To all the hypocrites, and all the liars.
She listens, and starts to believe the words being said.

The world shifts upon her back, and she is losing strength.
She still holds the world on her shoulders though,
Not realizing the harm being done to her.
The world is taking a toll, slowly and destructively.

Every move the world moves,
her skin is torn and bruised.
She feels it, but knows not how to put an end to this.
She faces the world that broke her back.

I used to know that girl.
