Hatred, hatred, and even more hatred

Hating and being hated

And, right now, I’m covered in scars

Yes, that’s right, scars

Scars on my heart

My brain

My skin

My heart twitches with pain and angst

My brain rattles with questions

And my skin, oh my skin!

It itches and twitches

Phantom pains from scars long passed

The damage done and gone, but never really gone

Because for each scar on my skin

My pale, thin skin

A gash in my past

A wound in my esteem

Pain, pain, pain!

Words, they hurt

The stares and glares and whispers and snickers

The emotional trauma and drama from teenage girls

No escaping, no escape

I will be forever stuck in this hatred and pain

There’s no way out of the cage in my mind

A beast

Trapped as a beast in my safest spot

No safety, no peace

The monster followed me.
