My Reality

It’s like screaming out load, and no one can hear
 Like you dug into my darkest places, and unearthed all of my fears
Shined a light upon my insecurities revealing my tears
It’s like I surrendered my free will, to follow your command
Relinquishing all of my power I put my life in your hands
When my confidence begins to rise, you weaken my stand
It’s like fumbling in darkness, eyes wide open and still can't see
It’s like you muffled my cries, ignoring my pleas
You abused me with your words so forcefully 
And  they cut so deep that they scarred the inner me
It’s like running full speed and getting no where
It’s like you were my only life support, and you rationed my air
I'm gasping for air, I can't catch my breath
I've given it all that i have, and now i have nothing left
It’s like I'm acting out a script. Word for word, line for line
Like every thought that I have is yours and not mine
It’s like I’ve lost myself, I can’t find the real me.
It’s like my worst nightmares, has become reality

Yea, completely understand Chiquita... Heartfelt flowing words!! And yes, words can cut and hurt and cause much damage...It's why we should choose to use them for good and not evil...'Be strengthened in the Lord' 'child... Continue to love ...Diana
