Tears threatening to fall

I hide them to act strong

Pinned up in a corner with no where to run

My family is turning against me

My own brother called me 'the root of the problems within the family before and after dad died'

Self esteem getting lower than it already was

There was no argument to lead up to that sentence

I am now a punching bag

Love, care, and worry is what I give my family

All I get is

'Its your fault'

'Stop acting like that'

An old demon returns and its question rings through my head

'Why do I matter?'

I'm slowly believing it

An old chant begins

'Grab a razor'

I find light but darkness drags me back

My trust is lost

'Who can I trust now?'

The multiple stabs

Everyone is out to hurt me
