the scars you've created
are taking over
my mind, body, and soul
the lies you've fed me
are becoming truths
I'll never be loved
I'll never be anything
I'm a whore
and a bitch
and a slave
for you
you use me and abuse me
say my name in vain
torture me until I'm dead
my mind, body, and soul
scream at me until
I hear your words
when you are right
and I am wrong
I'm ugly and unwanted
yet wanted by you
needed by you
I give you nothing
in the form of
security, comfort, and control
I know you love me
when you lie
I know you hate me
when I cry
if I lie it's over
and if I die
it's closure
I believe you when you tell me
I'm great
your world, your hell
your life and death
you secure me
with your pain
and envy me
with your lies
you release me with your hands
my mind, body, and soul

Interestingly dark piece here. It was strange to me at first, for some lines felt out of place, but overall, great write. Excellent job and good luck in my contest.

This is very dark, very intense, sort of a slap back to reality after reading all those Lovey Dovey poems!
Goodluck in the contest!
Much love,
