Useless

Meaningless

Pointless

Manipulative

Vindictive

Aggressive

Demon

Snake

Narcissist

All of the words I want to say

From the darkest corners of my mind

And all of the anger in my heart

But I am not an angry person

I am not a mean person

No matter how much I ‘ve been hurt

No one is worth the time

No one is worth the energy

No one will hear me say them out loud

Unless it’s to myself

To torture myself

To blame myself

All the times I bite my tongue

All the times I hold my breath

To spare someone else my wrath

Unleash Hel herself unto me

And let me take the pain

Of the words I never speak

Because I am useless

I am meaningless

I am pointless

No matter how much I want to scream

No matter how much I want to yell

No matter how much I want to stop the hurting

I never will
