Trapped like a fish in a simple fish bowl,
Unable to break out to be free,
Unable to escape the abuse of my world,
The abuse directed at me,
I’m reminded, each day, I’m not worthy of love,
Reminded I don’t have the right,
Reminded that it is all my own fault,
That I am no more than a blight,
And yet I can’t run, a can’t flee from this rage,
I can’t escape, I can’t even crawl,
I know I can’t stop hearing these words,
I cannot escape this at all,
Because these words, these phrases of hate,
These horrible words that are said,
They’re shouted at me, every day, loud and clear,
Shouted by me in my head.
