I'm sick of the sabotage
Sick of the fear
Tired of pushing away
Those who come near
I'm sick of your lies
That sound just like truth
I'm sick of reliving
Mistakes of my youth
You live in my head
And squeeze at my heart
To remove you would mean
Tearing myself apart
Until now, I've been scared
Too afraid to give in
Too fearful to accept
The truth from within
But now I'm fighting back
To shake your grip loose
I'll figure a way out
Of my self-made noose
I'm my own worst enemy
This remains true
But one day I'll free myself
And no longer need you.


Poem and image by Me. I'm not much of a poet, but the words just came flooding out.
