Issue 1

POEM CONTINUED
Have your victims. You drag me away from
Everyone who used to love me, and leave me
Isolated in a cold, dark place.
You aren’t respectful, you claw your way into
The lives of so many genuine people and drive
Them to the brink of insanity, you have no
regard for my thoughts or my feelings,
stomping all over me until there’s nothing
decent left to salvage.
You’re never creative, you tell me everything as
it is and make me see all of the terrible things
poisoning the world, you never sugarcoat the
truth, no matter how much it hurts. You even
helped me clearly see the my smallest flaws. You
call me disgusting and tell me that I’m
worthless.
You have no empathy. I could be laying on the
bathroom floor, blood dripping down my skin
and you would tell me how beautiful that
shade of red is on me.
You make it your goal to make me feel lonely
Until I don’t know why I’m lonely anymore.
