Been a While

Been a while since I last touched this pen,
But you forced it out again.

Poetry, my dark thoughts compiled into one,
These pages weep inside me becoming a time bomb,
So the ink can spread inside of me.

Defined by one hateful remark,
I have to stay down,
Measuring my worth with how you describe me,
Just like how it used to be, again.
