The Burden
Do I really need to take this?
All of the different types of abuse?
Coming to my throat with your hands,
Coming to my face with your fist,
Coming at my neck with your comments
that cut like knives?
Your actions that take away all of my sanity...
and replace it with insanity.
Putting me out of my mind that was right
and forcing me into a place that is not of my own.
Whirling me in a frenzy
of hatred and depression;
pulling me away from everything and everyone
that I once knew and loved?
If you didn't want me here,
you could've told me
instead of making me deal with this.
I would've never shown up.
I didn't wish to be a burden.
I never asked to be born in the first place...
