Who Am I

“You stupid, worthless piece of s***! I can’t stand you, you dumb ass b****!” Knocking me down with every syllable As you drag me from the dining room table Grabbed by my hair, my scalp is on fire Thinking of when I smiled, now I’m a crier You punch my face as if you hate me Using your words to constantly berate me I fight back but it’s of no use I’m too weak against your abuse Choking me, I feel light-headed On my neck, his handprints are embedded His eyes bloodshot, consumed with evil His words, once loving, are now quite lethal Brutally pounding at my self-esteem Happiness seems to have only been a dream What has happened? What did I do? Why am I treated like s*** on your shoe? I have gone above and beyond for you My love for you has been loyal and true Everything I do seems to provoke you So on edge that I can’t even joke with you Once strong and confident, I am now very meek Unsure and afraid on when I should speak I don’t even know the person I am anymore She has withered away down to the core I need to find her again for she has value And leave your ass alone because it’s long overdue.
