You're malignant
a terminal cancer
planted in my brain
using my own insecurities against me
I try to cut you out
but you refuse to die
because you're already inside me
polluting every inch of my being
You've ruined me
infected my sense of self
erased my identity
beat me down one day at a time
shattered my pride
crushed my will
stole my energy for yourself
slashed me up from within
gutted me without even touching me
I've taken the antidote
burned away every corrupted cell
but I can still feel the traces of your poison
corroding through my veins
filling me with self-destructive malice
strangling me on a short leash
emasculating me entirely
stealing my smile
decimating my ability to function
cutting me off from everything I love
stripping me of the chance to live a normal life
