I heard that voice today, it brought me low. I heard those words today. I should not let them touch me I know.
But they strip me down and lay me bare, they dash me to the wall and hit me against the floor without a care.
I felt that pain, I felt that wretched hurt, that invisible boot that stomps on my head and makes me eat dirt.
I heard that tone it turned my stomach I saw the look in the eyes it chilled me to the bone.
I was seventeen again but I had not learnt I had taken the vows all my bridges were burnt.
I heard those words, ” your stupid, lazy, you think of no one but yourself, your a hypochondriac, your manic, addictive, a drain on me” You told me this so often even I could see that it was all true. What was I to do, I have tried so hard to please you .
It does not matter how strong my spirit grows there is something that my heart of heart’s knows no matter what I say or do I will always be brought down by you. I know that however you profess to care I annoy you just by being there.
