Unhealthy Relations Poem by Jemima Rivas

Unhealthy Relations

Rating: 5.0


Me Alone, in this cold, cold world
You don't want me to be happy, don't want me to succeed.
Just want to use my skills, use my body use my, everything.
You are my ghostly possession conforming me to your will.

Want to crush my make me bleed
I'm a prune in your fruit juice
I'm nothing for myself.

Everybody's around me growing
And you cut me when I grow? ?
- - - - -

Me alone in this cold, cold world
Just trying to keep from dying
And nothing seems to work.

Have me trapped in this box where I'm nothing for myself
Where nothing seems to work
Just, banging on some walls
Your play toy
Your pet
Your machine

I'm alone in this box
Feeling to give up
Yes, me alone in this cold, cold world
I'm try-na keep from dying
You. Have. Me. Trapped. Inside of here

LET ME OUT
Let me be
Don't take off after me.

Drop the rules
Drop the games
I don't want to play these games.
You want me -die But I want to stay alive.

Torture on the guillotine
Sleeping on a bed full of nails
Smashing my face on glass windows yet putting napkins on my wounds?

Is it because I talk too much?
Do I play too much?
Do you think I pray enough?

You, are the fire in my hands, burning me up
You! Are the fire that I'm holding the one that's burning me up.
Leaving my hands blistered, they are bleeding and I would never let you go

You make me cry so my heart is bleeding
You are the one regret that I'm living
You are the knife on my lifeline and you hug me while I sleep.

You are the pain and my sorrow yet the reason I face tomorrow.
You are the reason my heart is aching and you never see the pain I'm facing.
You are the rope swinging in my head, you only want me dead.

Yet I will trust you forever I would bless you forever
And when everything feels like I it's crashing down on me I would ask you but one favour
And it's: Let me live till tomorrow, let me live while I'm dead.

It's like banging my head on a wall to soon to fall. Let me go or kill me now
In this box that you have me. no way to escape,
Nothing belongs to me
Not even my life
I banged my head on your walls again #don'tshootme
Isolated under your jurisdiction
No freedom for ambition

Anything you try to achieve you are sourcing out of me.
I'm exhausted I'm tired
Okay shoot me please.

Take everything I have. Taken everything you need?
Just don't let me suffer- to die
Free me let me go or
Shoot me let me stay.

You are the pain and my sorrow yet the reason I face tomorrow. Let me live till tomorrow, let me live while I'm dead..... Nothing belongs to me...Not even my life..... those lines speak volume you to me.... it reminds me of what someone told me once upon a time: In life we are meant to live, love and suffer.... I hope you overcome your 'unhealthy relations' so that you can and endure & enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

For the first time in my life I felt unhealthy after going through a poem. I praise your poetic strength and patience to complete the poem. However you have succeeded in transferring the personal pain cent per cent through these lines. Still it is a nice poem. Thanks for sharing it.10 for it.
