You suffocate me
Perched arrogantly there in your office chair
weaving lies through my head
stripping me of my hope
with empty promises.
You say you know my pain
but hope, love, and faith
are but rudimentary constructs
to keep us from fading away.
You say talking helps
“just one more little chat”
but you only talk
about chemicals
removal of feelings
and washing away the past
with denial
and SSRIs.
Dont speak of confidence
you who belittle me
Don’t speak of love
you who tell my family to ignore me when I’m hurting.
Dont speak of of things getting better
you who tell me they only will in my head.
