Your words peel the skin off of my scalp

Your disdain rips my heart out of my chest

Your insults are a bullet in my head

It is a constant battle

Always a stalemate with no victor

Please, I'm depressed, I don't want to be here anymore

No, you are a liar

Please, take me to get help

No, you are selfish

You are worthless

I scream

You yell

I cry

You just wrap your hands around my neck

Because you hate the sound

All I want

Is for you to hold me

To tell me that it will be okay

That you love me

You do hold me

Captive

You do tell me

To shut up

You never loved me

I know you as the God of War,

But I thought you

Were supposed to be my mother
