What I can never say: HA

You can't find me here

You don't know I exist here

Here, I can say anything I want to

 

Here, I can show you my demons

And let you see how you egged them on

Here I can let my thoughts flow free

 

Here, I can say that you tore me apart

You stuck knives into my skin

Carved words of hate onto my flesh

 

You told me to hang myself

You told me I wasn't good enough

You told me to go die

 

You told them you had no idea

You didn't know I felt this way

You thought we could still be friends

 

Your name fills me with rage

Yet that rage is tinged with fear

You are a monster that needs to be stopped

 

I don't know how I can show you

Just how you hurt me so

I can't do what you did to me

 

I don't want you to die

But I don't want to live with you

You feel it amusing to watch me cry

 

Some part of me hopes you find this

Some part of me wants to deliver it

Some part of me hates you yet fears you

 

You need to learn

You need to be taught

You need to stop

 

Am I the only one who can stop you?
