Night after night in echo-less jars my screams trapping one after the other counting on a shelf of shame storing By the threads of realisations Suffocating Wondering How did it go that far? My screams trapping in jars Scared the truth will come out The truth of you of my ignorance of my wasted IQ scores of how self-love in chapter number 6 was retracted on how my own voice MUTED My identity ERASED For yours to be written as the main character of an abusive ****** mystery The ****** of my pride I witnessed 18 months In your dungeon of lies trapped Willingly... Or Not Nailed down by my own traumas to a ground of your dismissiveness nailed down under your feet for your validation begging in drought living waiting for the mercy of the sporadic showers of love bombs I didn't know I can be broken that many times till I met you Like a shapeshifter, 206 bones I broke In the name of your entertainment Consistently strained by the: you’re not good enough consciously thinking you'll change unconsciously thinking that's All I deserve And that's what scientists call submission Submission to your mental manipulative ways In disgust I dwell Ashamed for being a fool Or Not By my own wounded child strapped to the bed sheets that consistently warned me about you how every time you gently kissed me goodbye choosing to leave me doubting myself worth wondering how can I ever be good enough for you to stay Yet I called you back Willingly or Not Remember how in milk and honey each insult you dipped How in 50 roses your derogatory pet names you carefully hid Your chains you weld tighter After each breakup Unconsciously it's whatever you want it's every yes where it was supposed to be no in pain you left me for days only to come back for more In pain I lived willingly Or Not My only crime that I was Desperate to be Loved

Screams trapped in Jars
Night after night in echo-less jars my screams trapping one after the other counting on a shelf of shame storing By the threads of realisations Suffocating Wondering How did it go that far? My screams trapping in jars Scared the truth will come out The truth of you of my ignorance of my wasted IQ scores of how self-love in chapter number 6 was retracted on how my own voice MUTED My identity ERASED For yours to be written as the main character of an abusive ****** mystery The ****** of my pride I witnessed 18 months In your dungeon of lies trapped Willingly...
