Family

A word I hate Bringing me down Can't stop the nightmares Dragging me by the hair Everything that terrifies me From trauma still fresh Ghosts of over two years ago Haunt me even now I wish I could forget Just how bad those 18 years were Knives stabbing into my heart Loss I can't even explain Mother who abandoned Never to be seen again On the lookout because of paranoia Potential threats that are always behind Questioning everything Running from the horrors Still coming for me at all times They want carnage once again Underwater I try to breathe Volumes of water I inhale X's on my forearms You can see all my scars Zealous energy I no longer have
