I can't

I can't breathe, 

I'm suffocating,

Your hands are around my neck,

I seem bullet proof,

Your words have hurt shot through my soul,

What happened to me,

Where is the joyful person I knew,

Where are my emotions?


I can't see,

My vision is blurred,

Darkness surrounds me,

I seem complete,

Your remarks have shattered my mask,

I can't hide.


I can't feel,

My body is numb,

I try to fake it,

Its pin pricks on my skin,

It becomes knives cutting away at me,

I am no longer phased.


I can't speak,

My body shakes as no sound escape,

I'm screaming,

Can you hear my sobs,

Do you hear my lies,

"I'm okay",

I'm broken,

I'm damaged,

I'm just a ghost of who I was,

I'm me.
