I’ve been abusing myself,
Inside my own head,
Kindness on the bookshelf,
Only slurs are being fed.
Surrounded by invaders,
Disguised as overthinking,
Thoughts controlled by Raiders,
My soles are quickly sinking.
Obscuring the truth,
Stalking my stride,
Wounded since youth,
It’s no surprise that I backslide.
A victim of emotional mayhem,
I didn’t know how to go on,
Rather, I took a group of them,
And walked into a new dawn.
Thank you all for reading,
Em.
