Faceless monsters are calling me names:
Their words are like blades -
They wound my soft skin\'s surface deeply,
Or like a hand hacks its way through my chest,
Grabs my heart and pulls it out
Breaks it and puts it back.
I could scream and shout,
But not a letter leaves my throat -
I\'ll leave myself a mental note,
Quote: I\'m better without them!
But why can\'t I leave them behind?
Why are they on my mind?
It\'s something personal,
Like codependency.
