When words hurt me
I run away
I pull myself deep inside
Into the dark abyss that is inside of me
The dark abyss takes me prisoner
And I become lost in a hell I have created inside of myself
All around me I feel the feelings
Hurt, anger, hate, pain, sorrow, disappointment
All the things I feel because of the words I am hiding from
The words stop and I try to come out
Only I am trapped inside myself
I ask myself to let me out
But there is no way
So I tell myself to give me a way
And soon I run out along with all the bad feelings I was imprisoned with
My hell flows out of me as I retake my body
I am me again
Yet you ask me to stop
You ask me to allow myself to be forever trapped
In that hell created
And so I run from your words
And again I am caught
Do I do as you ask and remain forever prisoner in that hell I have made
Or do I disappoint all those who are looking at me to stop
But as the words disappear I ask myself again to let me out
And I flow
And retake my body
And the cycle repeats
And will never stop
Until words no longer hurt
