Taunt, tease, test.
Voice, hair, breast.
Reminders of who I am.
Reminders of what I am.
The fears that consume me are beyond
What you may think is true.
The anxiety that rages inside me
Screams my name, screams my hatred.
One more word and I snap.
My efforts are in vain.
I've relapsed.
Because of your hateful words,
I've relapsed.
Because of your glares and the smirk on your lips,
I've relapsed.
Darkness encases me as I fall backwards.
Backwards into old habits and despairs.
My hope and faith, vanished under a few hateful guises.
You act as though your words are a game, but they're not.
Not to the ones they effect.
Not to the ones who listen.
You cause fear.
You cause deception.
You cause shame.
You cause
Relapse.
