Mental Abuse Poems

Rats and Roses

I don’t have my learners permit.
I have had to be the adult my whole life.
I have had to tend to their outbursts and tantrums.
I have survived all their rat runs

I’ve always told myself it’s an assessment
A test of my determination
I will soon regain my adolescence
They’re just giving me a foundation,

I have had to deal with

Accusations

"I'm short
I'm fat
I'm a wh*re 
My a*s is too flat

I b*tch too much
And play too little
I'm nothing but a sl*t 
Who f*ks for crystal

I'm never happy
Always sad
My hair is too nappy
I only make you mad

I suck in bed
Can't give good he*d
I'm not capable of making money
So I'm a thief instead

I'm ugly and disgusting
Nobody can trust

Avoidance Is Not Secure

You can’t give your best behind Walls
Fearful of taking that leap into one to commit to a life in hand 
Dreams are made possible by openness not from behind walls or unhealed trauma’s
My heart breaks 
I know you’re in denial of your style
Avoidance-
Is not Secure and I’m so sorry you never learned

Owned - Mental Abuse

To portray a different facet
That the outside world believe
A spectacle a performance
A web of lies spun to deceive

Chastised another day now
This pattern is well worn
Tolerance my saviour
Of a life threadbare and torn

Know not to voice opinion
Nor bring attention my way
Pass through this life your shadow
A different life I often pray

Fear, your sharp words heard
Restrain me

You Took Advantage Because You Could

There’s no tears left to cry,

All you did was cheat and lie,

Left me broken at the door,

My heart left ripped and tour,

You thought you broke me,

And i just couldn’t see,

How badly you beat me,

and how you abused my body,

Although time helps and heals,

I now no how it feels, to truly suffer,

At the hands of my

Escape Mental Abuse

A vial of happy in a bubble each day, 
That’s what the doctor had said,
Just a small dose, when she rolls out of bed, 
To freshen her wallowing head,

With a sunrise in opal, a titanium smile, 
A rose quartz beating her blood,
Creating a feeling of happy, belonging in colour, 
A feeling of absolute love,

And she

Mental Abuse

Mental Abuse 
By Ricky Flanigan

I wrote this when I was in my worst a few months back, feeling it!

I'm locked up mentally, increasingly destroying my reputation,
Hangin' on the line between 1st class and starvation,

Staring at the result in which there's air to breathe, no.
Currently stuck in the intersection just waiting to finally go.

As the time

Mental Abuse
9/17/12
By: Sami LaRose

Faded cannot describe how I am feeling
Past cloud 9, that wasn’t something ii ever believed could happen
Up on cloud 13 just swinging in the beautiful whippy willow tree’s thinking about how amazing life has been to me lately
What goes around comes around sometimes once, and sometimes more
Karmas always got the winning score
Don’t
