My words dig deep And do they strike true. My tongue is a weapon, I don't always use It can harm and main Deeper than any physical wound. My words can heal, harm... Or haunt you.

Talents
I talked to god And he told me to be vulnerable I asked why as I'm already full of cuts and bloodied.  You can see I'm battle worn.  He said show them your vulnerability So I did  And I got cut up some more.  I'm left wondering why. I don't understand it I don't know why But the pain is so deep I wish I could die Been praying to the saints Demanding why They don't take me away So I can fly.   Maybe then I can get some peace Maybe then I'll be free Maybe then I can get some sleep Without the pain reminding me But the saints never ******* answer me.

Why did you do this?
You left a stain A stain so dark On my soul It turned to a mark And I thought I'd never get it out I moped and I mourned I really tried so hard But I couldn't get you out. I thought this was it And I let it alone Until I realized I could come up with the perfect remedy. I love the folks art and their mysteries So I came up with the perfect solution To remove you from me: I'm brighter than before Almost like we never warred You no longer affect me.

Apologies
How can something that once had great power over me, Now means nothing? The same thing I used to cry over Because I wanted it so bad, Now means nothing. The man I once loved I now see for what it was... Nothing.

Nothing
All I wanted was to talk: to have another acknowledge these events That tore my life to shreds. When I did speak, It was instantly flipped or ignored. So I said enough, I'm not doing this anymore. I will not give to those who only take Or to hear my stories so they can create A reality which would leave me The center of their entertainment. I am not a joke, Nor is my life at any rate, A show. I admit I was clingy, I admit I lost connections I thought were worthy of pursuing Because I needed support early in the friendship. They didn't know I was in anguish Or perhaps they didn't care. Either way, I was left standing there. My screams were muted, My statements unheard. The help I needed Was blatantly ignored I'm now silent To prevent these losses Because apparently people Don't know how to handle these problems

When Reaching Out Does Not Help
The same ones who hate me tend to try and break me, Curse and forsake me, Then cry when they **** me. Then they see, That they actually need me it's too late for that now, Because I do not break and I certainly won't bow. They have condemned me for now But watch them as they come back around..... For Help.

My cries for help Have been ignored, I don't think I have the strength To scream anymore.

Long Endured Pain
I should not have to pay The price for responding To torture. I should not Have to pay for doing What is best for me. I should not be Afraid to make These choices Out of fear Of karma. It makes No Sense.

Oh, "Paying the Price"
I tried to fix what was broken And became upset when I couldn't. I left it alone, I let it be, I even changed me. Some worked and some didn't.. Now, I must admit it My errs have made me shameful Because my intentions were so good; But I was blinded, so blinded, That I never really understood How I could ***** anyone over The way I did. I turned a new leaf And still I couldn't succeed Because all anyone ever really saw Was the old me I set new boundaries and was shunned So I opened them up and now I'm lost I went back to the old me, And even that ******* me. So what do I become? What do I do? Because the old me And the new me Wasn't ever good enough for any of you.
