Intrusive Thoughts
From asylum to asylum I never seem to change,
Whether it is a shotgun to my head,
Or to that bully from fifth grade,
I am a pressure cooker full of rage.
No longer, No more,
My trust in you is gone,
I don't want to stab my mother,
Yet that is all you show me,
I gave you my all,
What did I get in return?
27 stitches and blood-covered hands,
That blood stain will never go away you son-of-a-bitch.
I am okay.
I am okay.
I resisted and my mother is okay.
Broken as I am,
I am in control,
Not you!
