Wilting

They say your body is a temple,
Full of the mind and the spirit.
They say your supposed to love yourself.
But I can't fathom why I couldn't possibly love mine.

My body is a flower,
But I am wilting.
Every day a petal falls.

My mother always told me to work hard in life,
And that the goddess will take notice,
And she will grant you a long happy life.

They say your body is a temple,
Full of the mind and spirit.
And to cherish it.

But I don’t have the strength to cherish mine,
I’ve never loved myself,
And why the hell start now.

They say your body is a temple,
But it’s not anymore.
He broke down the doors,
And forced himself in.

He violated me,
He broke down my doors,
He ignored the caution signs.

He ruined my life.
