Biting My Tongue

You always criticize me;

You always put me down.

I want to cry, 

But I bite my tongue

So that you can't hear 

The sounds of my weakness. 

Your words cut deeper 

Than any blade I've ever sliced 

My skin with. 

They repeat in my brain,

Like a broken record.

And you won't stop, 

But I have 

No choice

Other than 

To bite my tongue.
