Feelings

FEELINGS

Here it all goes again 
the heavy pressure building upon my brain 
unpause my sad songs once again 
And scream inside to release my pain
Gasping for breath whilst questioning death 
but all you here is silence because I have to hide 
As you only understand an argument from one side 

I’m here questioning why I’m still fighting 
Asking why you’re life gets to be so exciting
you make me feel sick inside 
after all you’ve done and you still take pride 
I guess I was hoping you’d leave me be after you’ve taken so much 
but it’s to late, the only feeling left is my touch 
You’ve taken everything worth smiling about
and all I can do is wait it out
you’ve changed my want for a relationship 
because if everyone’s like you I think I’ll skip
I never thought my childhood would be this bad 
As I sat on the sofa close to my dad 
Living with a narcissist was never what I expected 
As I played with my dolls, not aware an unaffected 

I always try my best 
Whilst keeping my emotions suppressed 
the anger I wish I could show you 
For everything you’re putting me through 
the rage I want to let out 
for making me hide and live in doubt 
the happiness I have to disguise 
for its been removed from my insides
the hatred i want to expose 
for all the times you’ve yelled and I’ve just froze
the hopelessness and worry I need to reveal
For all the time I’ll spend trying to heal 
and the disgust and fear you gave for free 
for not letting me be me 

the worst part for me is 
it’s not our house, it’s his 
It’s never going to end 
Its her money only he can expend
It’s the crushing feeling on my throat 
the love he claims to devote 
It’s to making up and getting away with everything 
It’s the laughing I hear while I’m above crying 
It’s the fact you will never see 
How truly mean your fiancé can be
