Miserable Promises

Does it matter? Am I of value to you now? You broke every promise. You brought me down. You chained me with false hope. Do you care? Do you think I do? I do not care. I will make you miserable. I will keep my promises. Do you remember? Did you think I would forget? You trapped me. I was held captive by fear. You stood there and did nothing. Weren’t you afraid? Did you know I was? The paper haunted me. It always attacked my dreams. Its mission was to ruin me. The task was accomplished. I hear them speak to me. I have no control over my body. I must do what it says. I am forced to squeeze the life from you.
