Rise Above

Your words are like a knife
piercing and stabbing
deep into my soul
My heart is an open wound
you have destroyed
now it bleeds pain
Hate set deep within your eyes
glimmering dark black
sending fear through me
Evil words spew from your lips
hurtful and mean
cutting me in two
I crawl back inside my mind
darkness takes over
drowning out your abuse
You will not break me down
no matter what
you will not win
I am stronger than you think
I will survive
and never look back
