Crushed

My worst fears 

have been realized:

no one cares about me.

 

I go through life

with nobody on my side.

 

I have so many enemies,

people who abuse me

and I can't stop it.

 

I can't make it alone

so I let the pain continue,

crush me deeper in the ground.

 

I couldn't imagine

standing up to them,

as stunted as I've become.
