    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;why does it hurt so bad? 
&lt;br/&gt;Kick me 
&lt;br/&gt;scream at me 
&lt;br/&gt;insult 
&lt;br/&gt;it's all my fault 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;never again 
&lt;br/&gt;I tell myself 
&lt;br/&gt;lies 
&lt;br/&gt;why can't I be strong? 
&lt;br/&gt;what draws me to you 
&lt;br/&gt;your abuse 
&lt;br/&gt;why can't I break free 
&lt;br/&gt;what is there for me 
&lt;br/&gt;more taunting 
&lt;br/&gt;more gauging my heart 
&lt;br/&gt;destroy me 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I slither slowly 
&lt;br/&gt;unhuman anymore 
&lt;br/&gt;a slug 
&lt;br/&gt;no dignity 
&lt;br/&gt;what have I done 
&lt;br/&gt;insults hurled at me from every side 
&lt;br/&gt;jealous hearts enfold me 
&lt;br/&gt;encamp about me 
&lt;br/&gt;hating me for naught 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;happy by myself 
&lt;br/&gt;this should not be the norm 
&lt;br/&gt;I ache to be 
&lt;br/&gt;a part of something 
&lt;br/&gt;acceptable 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My heart bleeds at every turn 
&lt;br/&gt;what is there to hate? 
&lt;br/&gt;I only want to love 
&lt;br/&gt;to be more than I am today 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Where is that someone 
&lt;br/&gt;those someones whose hearts will embrace 
&lt;br/&gt;console 
&lt;br/&gt;bring life to this dead soul 
&lt;br/&gt;make me whole 
&lt;br/&gt;more complete than I am 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;what is my destiny 
&lt;br/&gt;should I always feel the sting 
&lt;br/&gt;of others who desire 
&lt;br/&gt;to birth a piercing wound to my soul 
&lt;br/&gt;I lament like a widow 
&lt;br/&gt;whose children died at birth 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Of man 
&lt;br/&gt;where can I turn? 
&lt;br/&gt;Lord, you are with me 
&lt;br/&gt;your words heal the torment 
&lt;br/&gt;I need somebody here 
&lt;br/&gt;to continue your work 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Fallen angel 
&lt;br/&gt;I've come to be 
&lt;br/&gt;my sin ever before me 
&lt;br/&gt;who can blame me 
&lt;br/&gt;longing to be loved 
&lt;br/&gt;needed and nursed 
&lt;br/&gt;like a child back to health 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The warmth of arms around me 
&lt;br/&gt;kisses flood my face 
&lt;br/&gt;yet in moments so short 
&lt;br/&gt;I'm pushed from his embrace 
&lt;br/&gt;here they come again 
&lt;br/&gt;the offending words and actions 
&lt;br/&gt;that scathe my heart raw 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;like an animal I've come to hide 
&lt;br/&gt;wincing when voices are near 
&lt;br/&gt;cowering when extremities come too close 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What is my destiny 
&lt;br/&gt;I feel so trapped inside 
&lt;br/&gt;unloved 
&lt;br/&gt;unholy 
&lt;br/&gt;unnecessary to this life 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I want to offer more 
&lt;br/&gt;what is this curse I bear 
&lt;br/&gt;when will it be broken 
&lt;br/&gt;my life is halfway gone 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;tired of waiting 
&lt;br/&gt;tired of fighting for my sanity 
&lt;br/&gt;the life of my love is nearing death's door 
&lt;br/&gt;drained of compassion 
&lt;br/&gt;my heart weeps bitter tears 
&lt;br/&gt;trying to be love 
&lt;br/&gt;a light in the darkness 
&lt;br/&gt;the light dwindles in sorrow 
&lt;br/&gt;fuel for the soul has been spilt 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;becoming something I loathe 
&lt;br/&gt;mimicking those who torture and kill 
&lt;br/&gt;the core of a soul 
&lt;br/&gt;what has become of me? 
&lt;br/&gt;shall I always be 
&lt;br/&gt;never loved wholey and completely 
&lt;br/&gt;in the human race 
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
