Broken

By Ftsum Michael

Broken
Not even in despair
As if there is no feeling left
Is there such emotion?

Numbness
From all the pain endured
The diagnosis from I, yet no cure

Content
Will I ever be?
Why, is there such a thing?

Depravities
Casted away from my will
Though darkness has crept in
Darkness of my own intuition

The Bartering of my soul
For what, whom?
What do I seek?
Broken
