Animosity


Rushing home, one foot in I look to the mirror. My hands drop, They squeeze and grab and pull...nothing. My eyes roll upward with dread, I fumble and scream, My mind dark with hostility. Disgusting, Useless, Vile, I almost walk away, almost. I decide to stand my ground on the street and hope for the fat to walk away instead. My hopes die as the light in my eyes fade I plummet to the ground Individual tears rush through the dark abyss of animosity.

I understand people who go through this every day and I feel that it is one of the largest issues in my mind. I have survived through some of these feelings and wanted others to see that there is a way out but these emotions are what come before that.
