A Prisoner of My Own Mind
In the hands of abuse,
chained to a lifetime of suffering.
For you to feel power & a temporary ego boost.
Imprisoned in what is now my private fucking hell—
each brick you used, my pain produced.
The horrid things that you did, left me forever changed & bruised.
There’s no breaking away when my mind is a prison, no matter how many screws I loose.
Fallen to the ground, begging the devil, god—
I don’t care who, praying & crying for karma to hand you a personal noose.
Flashbacks of your actions that I drown in—
of the physical, sexual, emotional, & mental abuse.
I would sell my damn soul just to have this torture taken from me & given to you.
