I was born broken

Broken under a bad sign

Sign that says "keep away"

Away from this heart of mine

I will never be whole

Whole life spent with a heavy heart

Heart that was broken before I was born

Born into a life that tore me apart

You'll never find me embracing light

Light and lies are all the same

Same pretenders to goodness everywhere

My strength lies in not playing their game

I run for my life, hide from the light

Light which exposes too much of my soul

Soul embracing the darkness inside

Inside a broken heart long gone cold

~Cie~

Notes:

Loop Poetry is a poetry form created by Hellon. There are no restrictions on the number of stanzas nor on the syllable count for each line. In each stanza, the last word of the first line becomes the first word of line two, last word of line 2 becomes the first word of line 3, last word of line 3 becomes the first word of line 4. This is followed for each stanza. The rhyme scheme is abcb.

Sorry, but your girl Cie ain't feeling the whole question and answer part of the prompt. Make of this poem what you will.

Song inspirations follow!
