All For Them
Locked up, held prisoner, bounded by wounds that still bleed.The pain of the heart, it screams, but is drowned out by fear.Never admitting defeat, always losing the battle and winning life at war.Fake the smiles and laughs, pretend your ok, but it won’t last.Betray who betrayed you; abandon those who left you to fend for yourself.Everything you ever lived for seems to disappear, but your still here.Tied up, hanging high from the rope that hangs you.Cut down by ambition and the will to never admit defeat.You see the people you loved; you never show them that you feared.You fought for them again and again.When you fell you licked your wounds, and tasted the salty sweet blood upon your lips.You’ll get up again, never back down, never surrender, show no mercy.Your Dead but kept alive, your tortured for them

I feel like this poem lacks bigger meaning.

I hint- when you address a poem to "you"
