Their words plunge like daggers
Focused, derisive laughter
A target outnumbered
Cornered and torn asunder
Cast out and rejected
Fragile and unprotected
A misfit pariah
Ridiculed, undesired
A font of strength is flowing like blood from open veins
A cache of courage to brace against the blinding pain
Each one of us fights battles no one else can see
Some days just waking up is an act of bravery
Self-image distorted
Reality contorted
Dysmorphic perception
Self-doubt and introspection
Devouring and purging
Toxic cycle emerging
The shame hold, the tears flow,
Unanswered prayers for control
Addiction, dependence
A slave in every sense
A pattern repeating
Pointless and self-defeating
Clock ticking, time squandered
Promises left unhonored
Will failing, hope dying
Obstacles multiplying
