Inside Out

Disappointment – it has defeated me, deflated me,

Stuck a pin in the elated me. Taken everything I had from me.

Turned my insides out and my outsides in on me,

No one will stand up for me, against me,

They snigger at me, defy me, try me.

Failure – it has corrupted me, disrupted me,

Rushed forwards and interrupted me. Pushed aside what was left of me.

Turned my insides out and my outsides in on me,

They see the worst of me, mental me,

They surround me, poke me, provoke me.

Pride – It has demented me, dissented me

Puffed out its chest and vented at me. Beaten the whole of me.

Turned my insides out and my outside in on me,

Each one forgotten me, the real me,

The slander fills me, berates me, hates me.

Self Pity – It has depraved me, enslaved me

Dug a hole in the ground and made a grave for me. Ready to finish me.

Turned my inside out and my outsides in on me,

I can’t save me, any of me.

With thoughts they filled me, my mind-

It has killed me.

A/N - I have no idea where this one came from! A little depressing I know but there you have it...
