Infliction

You try to hurt me with your vicious words, Sayings that are not repeated. You push me up against the wall, Yet I am not defeated. I tell no one of the abuse; My thoughts are now in silence. I try my hardest to defend myself; Yet I can’t escape the violence. No matter how hard I try to impress you; My efforts are all in vain. No matter how fast I run- I can’t escape the pain. You blame everyone else for your torment; Then you can’t look in the mirror. I tried to point it out to you- But I can’t be any clearer. My vision is all cloudy now- From tears threatening to fall; Why we were even fighting- I can’t seem to recall. The cycle of hate continues- As evil need not rest. I try to help as well as I can; But you think that you know best.
