@Toad I know this emptiness since I was young, recently, it took a year of crying everyday to break through just a little bit and begin find my-broken-self.

Nice poem, thank you.
 
Toad, this is so true. Erased and rebuilt into an image that fit the abuser. And now it has to be undone, and that's sooo difficult. Very good poem.
 
I have written similar as well, I fear it is something many of us face. Very nice way to put it in words.
 
My personality erased
wiped out by his needs
A robot waiting for instructions
A boy eager to please

He shattered my psyche
Disassociated and numb
An empty vessel broken
Awaiting his commands

@Dolphin42 (Loss of self, disassociation)
It's sure is a struggle for many of us to regain control. I hope we all someday break down the robot in us and live humanly.
