Living In HellA Poem by KARENBoastful mischief I endure, devouring my self esteem little by little. You laugh at my fear, and wish to bury me in it.
Your tongue lies to me, it's like darts flying, my heart is the bullseye. You love deceit, and your evil ways.
Your violence paralyzes me. My sorrow and pain you feed off of. Horror overwhelms me as you invade my body. I pray that mercy will seize upon me, or death will take me to rest.
Each day I feel like you swallow me, and spit me out. You tear me in pieces and scatter my feelings on the floor. My crying is weak and pathetic to you. Harsh words frame my body.
Pride covers you like your favorite shirt. You feel an accomplishment at bringing me down. Discipline is what you say I need, you plaque me with beatings daily.
My bitterness grows inside of me, fertilizing it with the desire for freedom. Another day is too much to bare. I know now I must free myself from your possession. As I swallow the bottle of pills I call hope, peace washes over me. © 2011 KARENAuthor's Note
