Burn them down
until they’re ashes
and nothing more-
.
Shatter them like glass
until fragments remain
pieces of my pain-
.
Sweep them away
under that dusty rug
until I yearn for them, later-
.
Desperate to relive my past
the masochist in me
peeking from within-
.
Damn you, self!
Get out of my head!
The voices won’t shut up!-
.
They tempt me
with their laughter
their seductive games-
.
Until I’m nothing more
than a fool, again
caught within their grasp-
©️Unapologetically Me
Unapologetic
