My First Bully
I’m often told I am not good enough, According to my mom, I do nothing right. She yells and insults and leaves in a huff. Her cruel remarks, they haunt me at night. I’m told to do this, I’m told to do that But i’m never asked “Val how was your day” It’s alw’ys “Val, you’re a witch” “Val...

Violet violent voice As if you have no choice You choose to be mean and demeaning Then don’t understand Heavy hands that wave screaming Your cancerous mouth shouts Cursing screaming and loud As if you have a lift to be Better than a higher power cloud You can not be loving And hurtful at the same time You are not helping with words unkind Truth can...

Verbal Abuse
In the depths of words, a darkness twists, Where pain and sorrow firmly persist. Verbal arrows pierce with deadly aim, Leaving wounds unseen, but no less aflame. The tongue, a weapon of fierce distress, Unleashing storms that life cannot suppress. The power of words, both cruel and severe, Striking at hearts, filling minds with fear. Hear the echoes of harsh voices abound, Destructive syllables,...

Premium Member Life Preserver
Escaping the depths of the murky lake, leg-kicking upward in frantic haste, arms grasp for purchase in what surely will be my watery grave. Head breaks the surface, lungs gulp for precious air, burning, aching subsides, drown-panic-dying moment passes. Another failed attempt by me to prove I am not aqua phobic. So reminiscent of our years together as I flail in the waters of regret for sticking...

I Loved You, I Love Me More
I used to love you More than I loved myself But our love took a dark turn I cared for you, lied for you Even stood in front of a bullet I would have died for you Without a second thought See, There's grave danger in putting someone else before you Because it means you always take the backseat My wants, my needs Were put on...

I Cry For My Mother
I cry for my mother because that voice, which is like a shear, presses its blade unto her skin— drip — gore oozes from the wound; she doesn’t shed a tear, but i feel it within. that voice, which is like a shark, sinks its teeth around her head— slowly enough to hear the crunch of her skull, But i feel it...

Subjugated To Verbal Abuse
You were probably having a bad day but that was no excuse. When you gave me a lift, I had to be subjugated to your verbal abuse. I didn't retaliate, your abuse was something that I took. But later you chose to verbally abuse me again on Facebook. You abused me a second time because I didn't thank you...
