Walled In

Poetry

I'm stuck, trapped within these tight walls, stuck in this neverending cycle of abuse. I'm walled in within this world of pain. There is an escape, please, come find it with me in these poems. A collection of poems about abuse on all levels.

My mother always tells me
I need to be neater

My mother always tells me
I need to work harder

My mother always tells me
I'm never smart enough

My mother always tells me
I'm always in the way

My mother always tells me
I'm too selfish

My mother always tells me
I'm not good enough
