Damaged

I am damaged.

I told you I was damaged,
You pulled me closer,
Hugged me tighter,
Loved me more.

I told you I was damaged,
I had been pushed around,
Beat to the ground,
Scared to stand.

I told you I was damaged,
A little girl hidden inside,
Brick wall all around,
Masks covering all.

I told you I was damaged,
You still weren't prepared,
For the woman before you,
Always broken.

I tell you I am damaged,
You pull me closer,
Hug me tighter,
Love me more.
