Yesterday and today

“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.
