Emotional Abuse

Some how, you say that I'm the one to blame, I deserved for you to treat me the way you did. It was always my attitude that set you off. Even though I was just a kid. I'd cry myself to sleep at night, Wishing, for all the pain to fade. Knowing I could end it all, Just one quick slice of the razor blade. I slept with it beside me, Disgusted by its sight. And every day I'd wonder, If I'd ever be alright. You made me feel so worthless. I always felt alone. No one understood me, Especially at home. I never really wanted to death. I just wanted to get away. And I thank god, I never had the guts, Each and every day.

Wow, I feel like I can relate in many ways. Thank you for putting such emotions into words. It's tough to admit such things, especially when it involves the ones we care about. By the way, thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my poem.
