My Abductor


As I exhale and smoke rises My worries float away Stress, hurt, and fear dies But I have become a plant's prey She sits and waits for me to crawl to her Because she is my only comforter But others say different And try to save me from my abductor Hearts break and tears are shed All because of my inability to cope with my very own head I want to be successful I want to have a family But how can I do that If I don’t even like me?
