They tie you down
and you lie there
on your side
imagining your body
walking away
but these ropes
cut into your skin
so you don't
struggle.

They must have
drugged you
because you
can't remember
how to sleep
and your eyes
never stay closed
so you have no
escape.

They are grinning
listing every mistake
you've ever made
explaining
everyone hates you
they don't
want you around
so you sob
silently.
