Nice.

Having someone say
Something nice
When you know
It's a lie
Is like
Getting a door shut
In your face.

And the door has
Knives on the back.

And when it shuts
You fall into a hole.

And in the hole
It's all dark.

And you're afraid.

And then you hear
The voices.

The ones that say
You
Aren't
Good
Enough.

Good enough for who?
Doesn't matter.

Why you aren't good enough?
Doesn't matter.

Nothing matters.

Because when you're trapped
In your head

It becomes a dark,
Dark place.

And it's even worse

When the world has already
Shut a door
In your face.
