Trying and trying every day,

‘that’s not enough for me,’ you say.

All the yelling and cursing and crying.

It feels like every day, I’m closer to dying.

What can I do when all is lost?

If this is life, it’s not worth the cost.

Shadows taking over all my dreams,

and in reality, nothing is as it seems.

The blood drips down, a startling crimson,

my mind has turned into my personal prison.

My eyes are blind to all but the dark,

I can’t deny it, you’ve left your mark.

They say a mother should be loving and kind,

but all I see is your hatred that permeates your mind.

You never wanted me- not even from day one.

Because of you, my life was over before it even begun.

With every single trick you play,

with each and every lie you say.

These thoughts swarm in my mind like flies,

both of us know that I’ll be the first one that dies.

Today, tomorrow, maybe next week,

soon the voices will have my soul to keep.

I know you hate me with all that you are,

so I promise, it won’t be long until I go too far...
