Roots

i can hardly breathe, ur grip so tite its so hard to fite.
i try to leave but ma eyes cant see, coz these tears stream down
burning ma face.

u make me feel small waiting for me to fall,
in the gutter, to the ground yelling at me dont make a sound
i am a nobody deserve to have nobody, coz i am dirt...these words they hurt

u grab my shirt,push at nobody, beat on this body until i fall,
i try to crawl, to plea i bawl but ur words a fist knock me,
back.

Down i go, it all feels so slow, the pain is real so sharp like steel.
this body can feel, finding it hard to heal not knowing how to deal.

wounds left agape emotional rape, so raw, so sore i crouch on the floor.

i see the door, and long to be free
but like a tree the roots run deep, and from them i cannot creep.
