There's another me in here
and her only purpose is to destroy me
The other me is a parasite
that sucks the soul right out of my body
the will to live from my life
Theres another me that resides here
and she whispers to me
She says
nobody loves me
She says
that I'm a waste of space
She says
I should do something about my weight
The other me is a puppeteer
and I am the doll
Helpless to her will I move to the beat of her desires
She speaks for me because mine have been taken
to stop me from screaming
"Yeah, Im okay."
"Im fine, why do you ask?"
"Im just really tired is all."
She smiles while I'm tied up with my insecurities
She invalidates my feelings
and says
"Suck it up.
They're are people worse off than you."
I know.
She says
everyone would be better off without me
and I believe her
She hands me the power to take my own life
but I don't accept
I don't want to be a burden
The other me has let me die while still breathing
There is no cute for what's inside me
That me is not me
She is stranger who has stole my self value
She has stolen something important
and I may never get it back
There will be no consequences
There will be no punishment waiting for her
because the only person she is real to
is me
Well done.
"The other me has let me die while still breathing." Great line, and a very good poem. Keep writing.
