Drowning

My past envelops me
chains me to the rail
smothers me till I can't breathe

Hatred fills my veins
for the people who made me feel this way
I can't seem to let it go
I want to, so very badly
but its iron clad fists are too tight

Shame that comes to torment
because I shouldn't have let them treat me like that
Shame threatens to whack me right and left
because I should have stood up for myself

Never waste tears on those who could literally care less
Never waste emotions on those who need to make others feel bad
Never waste time with those who only pretend to like you

Tired of restless nights
Dreaming of a better future
I deserve at least that.
