I'm so tired of your sad eyes trailing down my body; a look of disapproval gleaming in your irises more poisonous than any venom-- one little look and I'm dead I'm so sick of your thoughtless words You act as if I have no feelings-- Simply a mindless machine given as a toy I am not a robot I have run out of batteries I'm so fed up with your heavy hands They squeeze my sides but feel like they are gripping my throat You don't know how much weight your actions hold or how I'm suffocating in silence I'm so over your polite smile that has everyone fooled but me Stop hiding behind a mask of innocence Show everyone what happens behind closed doors Let them cast stones until you bleed the truth
