Why did you deny my talents
I once believed I was a nobody
trapped in my own sanity
Why did you lie about my characters
I was despised by my inner circle
to be an unforgiven failure
Why did you steal my peace
I was terrorised by your pure presence
and poisoned by your every word
Why did you betray your flesh and blood
I was entrusted to your care and protection
in a world that was already cold
Why did you twist a knife in my core belief
I looked into the mirror and saw a shattered self
distorted by your snare
“Hurting people hurt people”
