these thoughts tie me down,
they tire me out.

my stomach in knots
I can't seem to breathe,
take in the air

my throat tightens,
constricts.

I am filled with poison,
invisible filth

they think I'm angelic,
gentle and kind.

oh how wrong
their perception is

I am ashamed
and guilty

I have them fooled,
maybe
I've convinced
myself too.
