Toxic situationship
Got into a dependency cycle
Kept me from working
So you can use me and abuse me
Should had been stopped living for you
Nothing was enough for you
Putting all your toxic stress in me
Then slap me when I have a toxic explosion
Instead of comforting me
It's my fault I let the abused happen
Masked underneath love
Choke me to death I don't care
At least the toxic cycle that I'm in will end
Give and take
Control me, put my whole life at stake
Either I get abuse and misused or get put out
Stuck with no place to go
Feel like my life is not in my control

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

Emily, this was a really heavy poem full of raw and unyielding emotions! It was beautifully written, but I have to ask. Are you okay? 💜
There are always answers. One just has to seek them. Your life is always in your control no matter what. Just have to find a way.
