The Destroyed

We are the destroyed. The ones who were thrown
down with no care if we could stand once again.
The ones who were deceived and left alone
to train ourselves to hide our attained pain.

Those who push away anyone who cares
about showing us that we are truly loved.
Instead we focus on the tormented tears
that show that our beloveds left us unloved.

Instead we smile and laugh to fool the world
into seeing the perfect and unharmed
instead of the broken and destroyed curled
into a ball left completely disarmed.

So we continue to be the destroyed
as we act overjoyed in painful void.
