manipulative c*nt

conversation

By Erin TPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

SHE says "this is where you belong."

I say okay.

SHE says "today we are not leaving this room."

I say okay.

SHE says "eat something, fill your stomach."

I say "I'm not hungry."

SHE says "do it anyways."

I say "okay" and I eat something.

SHE says "now throw it up."

But I don't want to.

SHE feels me fighting with her and she doesn't like it.

SHE makes the food uncomfortable inside of me so I shove my fingers down her throat and pray SHE chokes as it comes up.

SHE doesn't.

SHE says "see, you always listen to me."

But I don't want to.

When SHE sees me living on my own SHE turns on me.

SHE tells me I'm worthless,

ugly,

I'll never be enough.

Sometimes SHE uses other peoples voices and sometimes SHE uses no voice at all.

SHE sharpens her blade,

and SHE is right.

I'll listen to her every time.
