Trapped


You are not what I wanted

You are not what I planned

You are ugly from the inside out

I hate that I have to deal with you everyday

I am alone with you for most of it

I can’t leave you no matter how hard I try

You are rotting away

Seeing you makes me sick

The deepest depths of Hell could not compare with what you put me through

I am trapped by you

Caged

Ensnared

When I am with you I am lonely

Try as I might to make it better, I can’t

I have tried to change

I have even tried to hurt you

You, putrid disease, are starting to affect others

Why are you here

Why don’t you leave

No one likes you

No one cares for you

No one would ever miss you

You stop me from being the best I can be

You are me
