Buried deep beneath my skin
A feeling I want to get rid of, an emotion within.
It binds to my soul, an unyielding hold,
An emotion I cannot control.
It brings me back to a time so stark,
Where light hid away in shadows dark.
This feeling creeps up from inside,
Reaching a point where I cannot hide.
It darkens my mood and colors my day,
Always leaving me with nothing to say.
Any touch feels hard to take,
Bringing back memories that make me ache.
Being your punching bag wasn’t my plan,
It’s a reality I’ll never understand.
I hope to heal one day from this pain,
While you walk free, without a strain.
Please see what you did to me,
How your words made me want to flee.
Yet after all that, I still wish you well,
I’ll escape this prison, break free from this cell.
Heal from the hurt you put me through,
And create a space where I can wake up anew.
