Inside of Me

You took what was mine

Inside of me

Knowing my compassion

You took advantage

You can’t give back

What you forced me to give

And now you walk and talk

As if it never lived

This anger inside of me

Burns, you’re fuel

Ever time I walk by

And you have nerve to say hi

Don’t act as if you

Weren’t about to let me go

But no, you had to have it

Your way or nothing

I’ve never hated anyone

In my life

But now I’m not too sure

Because this anger is hot

More than any love

That I’ve encountered

It’s taking over my thoughts

It’s taking over my dreams

I want to end these clouded

Judgments and nightmares

Not knowing which way

Is up, I feel water enter my lungs

As I drown in this life

In which I like to call Hell

Every time the thought

Of ending my pain comes to mind

I can only think of one way

And that exit scares me

But I’d finally be with my child…
