How dare you take away from me
the love that others gave me,
leaving me alone.
We're trapped.
I gnash my teeth and groan.
We're pushed around.
I wince with every shove.
We're not like you.
Our world we can't control,
ourselves as well.
Addictions feed our face.
In pain inflicting pain
we stay in place.
I won't give up
but cannot save my soul.
I hate you.
Hate myself.
I stink of gall.
Let's have it out right now
and then be done.
I have my hostage
pinned against the wall
and at my temple, look,
I shove a gun.
I'll shoot!
“No? ”
“Yes? ”
I want to see you nod.
I dare you!
Show me that you love me, God.
