Your words are a boa constrictor
suffocating my existance
until I can't breathe
or remember who I am
for all that matters
is I'm struggling to survive
beneath your incessant pressure
to mold me into who I'm not
and untrue lassasions beat me
until I admit defeat
or walk away scarred,
but no matter what you say
nor what you do
will ever undo your damage,
especially when words don't surface
from nowhere, but escape
our mouths when angered
and your subconscious
takes control for expressing
how you truly see and feel
about me.
