Shattered But Not Broken

By Brind Mittal

I have grown weak, broken

I used to stand strong, unfazed

Now I have been crippled 

Down to my knees

Shattered like glass

Stabbed by my friends 

Before my foes, all were the same

All were my enemies

Though my equals were none

Yet in defiance, denial some may say

I stand, with my conviction 

And my refusal to kneel

For this night shall pass too
