~
It keeps ringing in my ears
Gnawing at my torn heart
Swallowing my entity whole
Trapping me in a place
I so desperately want to leave
Why can't I do better?
Why can't I do anything right?
Why am I filled with mistakes?
Why am I like this?
Is it because I was not enough?
Nouns that give me venomous titles
Adjectives that describe my inferiority
Your words akin to a lullaby
That pulls me into the deepest depth
I struggled to get free
Further entangling myself
Into the shackles that bound me
Can I really escape from this?
No, freeing myself is nothing
But a fleeting dream
~
Be careful of what you say,
Because words are sharper than knives.
