Was it Enough?

I need to learn about life.

That I can't have everything I want.

That life is a bitch 

Just because you say so.

Yet, you still think I'm not healed.

From something that happened

Almost six years ago.

And when I claim I am

You tell me I'm not.

That I don't know.

You want me to experience things

Worse than that.

And I do every day.

I hear the words you speak behind my back

And the lies you say to my face.

I hear the voices in my head

Telling me that you don't love me.

And most of all

I hear how worthless I am to you.

How you want to protect me

By harming me.

But when I want to harm myself

You don't care.

Was six years ago not enough?

Was losing 3 years of my life not enough?

Am I not enough?
