Manipulations Aftermath

Constantly fearful
Numbing and dreadful
Sleeping amid deep seated angst
Nerve endings are shaking
This nightmare in dreaming
Of never awakening
Slipping away from brighter days
Freezing inside iced forming crystals
Scary emotions tightly wrapping
Entwining the darkness of suffocating 
An emotional downward slipping 
An enclosed coffin of deadening
Amidst a highly gifted 
creatively depressed soul

Wow! This is really well written. Kind of scary and depressing though.

That's what psychopaths do to your psyche. This is my healing work. I'm taking the pain they cause and I'm turning it into art. Let them give me something in return.
