Eviction

by MyHalozChokinMe   Oct 7, 2012


I want to step right out of this skin I'm in.

Shed the person I no longer want to be.

Just drop her on the side of the street
along with the day's trash.

But, she is so much a part of me,
our fibers blended, her soul entwined
with mine.

This seething, angry mess of a girl
wears my skin and speaks with my voice.
She moves my limbs and uses my brain.

If only I could get her to leave.

She is all that is wrong. She is the root of my evil.

There when I awaken in the morning;
Full of hate and rage.

She is the wall between love and myself.

Stubborn and unwilling.

Hateful and hurting.

Holding onto memories.

Reliving the pain
day after
day after
day;

Never letting the wounds heal.

She keeps me silent in the back, unable to
step into the light.

This seething, angry mess of a girl,
who wears my skin and speaks
with my voice-

I am serving you an eviction notice.

You are no longer welcome here.

    Ok, this really spoke to me, I love this. I can totally relate tot his and i get the part where you say she has become a part of you, like it is something you have lived with for so long that you cannot imagine how it would be without that there.

    I like the way you used almost like an animal shedding its coat, to describe getting rid of her, like you could just shed this inside soul and make them disappear.

    I also like how you describe it as someone having control of you, like the person inside controls your voice and body and just makes you trapped with no way of making her go. And yet you are clearly telling her you want her to go to become free and let go of the past, which means letting go of her.

    Great poem, I loved it.
