Upon my hunched shoulders
Flinching when a loved one is hurt by my lifeless expression
I don't want to hurt them
The shadow clings onto my haggard figure
It slithers unspoken taboos
Lashes caustic critiques
Into my weary ears
Offering comforting words of persuasion
" They don't need you."
"Life is pointless. Why even try?"
"You don't matter."
"I'm your friend. They will never understand."
"Worthless. Meaningless. Failure. You deserve nothing."
"I'll always be here."
"End it."
