Abused. Ill-treated.

Born into barbed wire boundaries.

Reiterate,

Reiterated

Over and over

How incapable one is

To even make a simple decision.

(Wrong. Wrong again)

To celebrate joyfully,

To make a sound could set fire to surroundings.

Destruction.

Loose track of truth as lies are the padding between

Being reprimanded physically

Or

Verbally.

Blurred lines

And confusion.

(Mock and shame)

How to interact;

Manipulation

False praises and head games.

How to explain

Voice crushed,

Airway blocked.

To whisper brought trembling

To body

And tears to brim

To which people yelled

“Speak up!

What is your problem?”
