Narcissistic Abuse
August 14, 2023
TW: abuse
You are the one who uses
My dreams as though they were a doormat,
Wiping your feet as you come and go.
My spirit pulsating like flowing blood pricked by a needle,
When you tell me to get thicker skin.
You are the one who uses my body
as a shelter not a home.
Using your words as stones
And sticks as knives skinning my broken bones.
You are the one who sucks me dry
To feel the warmth of a soul and shadow inside of you.
You are the one who clips my wings and uses them as crutches
Just so you can learn how to fly.

This poem is about how much I hate my abusive, violent and narcissistic father. I am so grateful, that nobody has to have a brute father like him.
