Trapped 

They all circle around, replaying themselves over and over again. Never leaving, multiplying. Trapped inside because she believes they are true, nobody knows how much it hurts. All the names, and flaws they criticize. They make her more insecure, obsessed with changing to be accepted. She is suffocating with everyone around her. Nobody helping, everyones laughing. She doesn’t know how much longer she can keep going, pretending it doesn’t tear her apart. Every time she hears these poisonous titles they become more embedded in her heart. The poison racing down her blood stream, spreading the pain around. She doesn’t love herself in anyway, shape or part. All the things they mocked her for, swirl around on a never ending loop. Repeating throughout the day, every time she speaks or moves. She is trapped in a box with all these piercing words, jabbing her until she can’t stand anymore. She keeps it all in, until she explodes. Maybe then everyone will know.
