What if you were me for just one day? Would all the pain just go away? Your words left a scar on my mind. Cuts and bruises now heal. Words I still remember.
I scream yet im not heard. Try to talk but my mouth wont open.Im not myself anymore. Stripped from all self worth layer by layer till there is nothing left.
Scares dont fade, they dont heal with time. I find myself in the memories hidden beneath the words. I can never expose you. Never tell the truth about you,for fear of speaking into existance.
My fears are irrational. I cant make them stop. What will it take to make it at night? A devils voice in the middle of the night. So much hurt. I feel so much like Im trapped inside. Struggling to find me, blinded by your selfishness insanity.
Tried to get you to notice Im still there, but you didnt care, as days that pass the more I realize I can do it without you.

When the Robots Took My Job
This is for RM Stockton's Write Club prompt for the month of April: AI Please allow me to vent. For "college," I went to a scam school that is now closed. We were promised internships that were never spoken of again after admissions, and we were promised help finding jobs. The first time I went to the career counselor's office, she was completely frazzled. She had no idea what to do with us, the film majors. The second time I visited her office, I let her know that I'd found myself a job, and she was visibly relieved.
