All alone in my sorrow His stench surrounds me I try to close my eyes and there he is again I open my eyes... he's there No matter what I do he's there Like cockroaches climbing all over my body I wanted to sedate myself and lay in bed all day Moms don't get time off though The days are long, the work is endless. I tried to shove food down my throat to fill that deep hole within. Didn't work, made me nauseous & in pain. The voice within says... You deserve to be in pain. Take it you worthless piece of crap. I agree, as I do what I'm told. ***** on my hands, ***** on my face. Surely this is the look of a piece of garbage. I feel better for a split second as I was able to subconsciously ***** my feelings. I wish I could ***** the memories that haunt me. I wish I could suffocate my feelings like the thoughts suffocate me. In this moment I give up. I'm tired of working hard to be better. People don't want the real me. They want the me that they want me to be. My authentic self isn't good enough. I drink my sorrow away. For a moment I'm able to escape my pain. I feel high... Enjoy the moment, for you need to get back to battle very soon.
