the abused become the abuser

I've been abused by the abused so I know it can happen
But god I refuse
To be so evil
To be so angry
It's not fair
How could you stick me in that category
Please let me convince you
Let me prove you wrong
Empathy bleeds through my scars
I'll take away your pain
Absorb it through my pores
Declawed myself so I wouldn't hurt people
muzzled myself so I wouldn't bite
It's so laughable
You'd think if I worried so much about being the abuser
I'd realize I'm not
But you've engraved it in my brain
I'd rather be terrified all the time
Then hurt someone
