Expecting me to be perfect
disappointment will await you
flash backs of the past
keep me longing to go back
make me wonder why I try so hard
to shelter your feelings, your opinions
instead of expressing my own
desperately needful
I'm tired of the nagging
the gossip, the lies
narcissism or just plain evil
whichever.... it makes me crazy
and I'm boxed in
clostrophobia, I feel the very breath
smothering out of my lungs
as my screams echo so loud in my head
my ears could burst
the ringing has grown louder
for the last five years of my marriage....
monster-in-law..........just doesn't do justice!
