Their vicious words pierce through the skin,
like a terrible knife sheathed with blood.
The unshakable pain they create
burns like a fire hotter than hell
It just keeps growing creeping like frostbite through my mind.

Lies! All of them!
Those girls only wish to create
chaos and misery in my life
and they’ve succeeded.
Their gossip rips through me
and incinerates my soul.

Everyone believes them.
The only “hello” I receive are
cold stares, terrifying glares, and ambient hatred.
I haven’t heard my own name in months.
They only spit out gusts of saturated hate.

I reside in cold isolation..
No one wants me.
I’m a frost bitten shell of a person
who cannot even retreat to their own mind.
Haunted by their merciless acts.
My cold, lonely excuse for mind
calls out for the warm embrace of a friend.

The horrible pain of
a soul being ripped from its body,
skin being torn to shreds,
or the freezing of a heart
couldn’t compare to this agonizing pain.
At least death numbs the pain away.

I walk around with hate and darkness in my eyes
and I’m completely losing my grasp of myself.
My only motivation is the knowledge that they are all lies.
I never did those things.
I never said those things.

I hope watching me shatter
has been as fun as they thought it would be.
I’d hate to be even more of a waste of space
than they’ve made me believe I am.

Today their control over me ends.
I refuse to suffer any longer.
These are the last tears that will fall from my eyes.
I will finally let the words escape my cold, dry lips.
“Help me”.
