Monster

Voices echoed the room. Are they mine or yours? There's no way to know for sure. I’m no longer in my own body And completely shaken to my core My worth brutally contaminated My bleeding voice chokes on your ability to ignore my tears which you've acquired a hungry taste for. You forgot to hide your ugliness under that crooked mask of yours As you take my innocence as one of your artifacts. My strength is tangled within your degrading fingers. It hurts to be strong and try to fight back. Within an instant, you turned my meaning into nothing. It hurts to swallow your poison. I should have seen this coming. You couldn’t keep your filthy hands to yourself. My defenses were down, but now I see what you truly are. I know what you are.
