Words in my head
And they won’t go
Spinning
Pounding
Stuck.
Trapped in my own brain
Your words
Invade what is mine
Steal what is not yours
To take.
Words leave your mouth
Crippled.
Wrong.
Hover in the air
Broken.
Weird.
Settle in my head
Slow
Weak
Blink back tears
Your words
Darkness
Evil
Thunder in my ears
Push me down
When I’m on the ground.
Everything in me
wants to prove you wrong
But how can I
When your words are so strong
Your words
Taking what’s mine
Do I have to be on guard
All of the time?
Destroying
what control I have
Over my mind
Your cruel
Evil
Vicious words
Stuck in my head
Over and over again
Why can’t you realize
How cruel your words are?
Can you please
Be quiet
If you have nothing good to say at all.
The pain’s still inside me
But all I want
is to let go
Let me let go
Of your words.
I want the words you gave
to go away
Hurt
Scared
I want the confidence you stole
Tell me…
Is it gone
Forever?
Locked
Inside my head
The pain
Your words
