Locked in anger
Bathed in pain
Consumed by loathing
Over again
Mirrored reflection
All that’s to see
A blemished soul
That won’t let you be
Repulsed at being
In your own skin
The hatred swells
Over the tiniest thing
‘You don’t deserve it’
Invades every thought
A prophecy fulfilled
In the web you are caught
It belongs only to you
You have earned all the blame
Despite what some tell you
You still feel the shame
Sometimes
Nothing seems right
Every little thing
Just puts up a fight
Some days
Simply fall apart
Each innocent word
Is taken to heart
Some nights
A curve ball is thrown
And all of the silence
Screams ‘you’re alone’
Some weeks
The world could just end
It takes all that you have
To only pretend
Some months
You don’t get ahead
No one can help you
No words can be said
Some years
Plans come undone
And the freezer is filled
With dinners for one
