Time Bomb

#VocalNPM

By Rachel VaguePublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Sticks and stones they break my bones

But your words

They harm me

They stick with me and hurt me

They torment and grow inside me

Your narcissism

It controls me

Can't you see I'm hurting

Shutting down

I'm Shutting down

Your actions they have belittled me

Can't you see I'm hurting

This anger inside me is growing

I'm a time bomb that’s ticking

Tick

Tick

Tick

Your projecting your feelings on me

Your anger its moving

Your jealousy is growing

Your words

They hurt me

Your movements are annoying

Your eye-rolls and jesters

They test me

Tick

Tick

Tick

I'm a time bomb ticking

Your words they anger me

Your movements they annoy me

Tick

Tick

Tick

Your Hurt

It's growing inside me

Your Anger

It's agitating me

Your Words

They Annoy Me

Tick

Tick

Tick

I’m a time bomb ticking

Tick

Tick

Tick

Then I’m exploding
