“Stop doing that!”
Words,
Harsh words,
“But why, it’s not hurting YOU”
Stimming
Is bad
Very bad
“You’re a grown man!. Stop it. It upsets ME!”
“But…”
That stare.
Sadness.
Guilt.
Minutes later..
“You’re a waste of space!”
Angry words
Harsh words..
Yesterday.
Today.
“Do you know what ? You’re useless!”
Words that hurt
Words that wound
Words that cannot be..
Unsaid.
Diminished in stature.
Self esteem, already nothing..
S
I
N
K
S
Bottomless pit
Mute
Say nothing
Scared
Fearful
Words from one who loves you ?
Yesterday.
Today.
Bad.
Bad me.
Bad days.
