Monster

Location

Once you’re in, you’re in

There is no escape

They wear you down

With words

With actions

 

Your own thoughts drive you crazy

Even when they’re gone

The past haunts you

When you’re finally free

You can never truly recover

The damage was done

You finally think you’ve built yourself back up

Then you crumble once again

 

You are told they were wrong

But you trusted them

You loved them

They shouldn’t have done that

They didn’t have the right

To take away your ability

To ever be whole again

 

Abuse is the five letter word given to a monster

A monster that never really goes away
