The Victim

5/10/13 I’m the victim… Are you the predator? I feel hurt – I am oversensitive I am an unstable table The pain’s TOO unbearable Intolerable… Unendurable… Am I your bull’s eye? Are you the strong, enduring one? You allured me into your trap… And you made me feel like crap You deceived me with your lies And you ignored my crestfallen cries You change right before my very eyes… Every thought of you are as abominable as flies, Hovering around me…as if I’m the dead carcass As if I have a revolting scent…and you got the nerve to harass I’m the awkward kid… Are you the normal, mature individual? I feel confined and insecure… Did I just run out of fuel? You discarded my dreams… And you made me drink in nightmares… I’m breaking by the seams Why did you disregard my heart’s desire? Why did you push me into your devious hellfire? You transformed into a hideous monster You’re a poison pretending to be a cure…but I’m a conqueror you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing… you aren’t my savior… you aren’t a hero you aren’t the solution to my countless problems… you are escalating my anxieties... I’m the target… Are you the hunter? I am injured I am feeble I am vulnerable Am I the weakling? Are you the watchful, resilient seeker?

Powerful poem. Such sadness and pain swirling around a core of courage that decided the words had to be written.
