By Jake Cox
I remember the day you forced yourself into my life
You never introduced yourself
You just started taking over my life
My happy days were gone
You kept following me around making me feel unwanted
I did not want you here
As I grew you grew, you were creeping into my quiet moments when I was alone
You made me feel worthless
As day by day passed, sleeping was my escape from you
Yet you made my escape so difficult to reach
I used to be so happy when the sun came out shining as I laughed without a care
But that laughter turned into tears, the sun into darkness
My heart and soul scream for help as I try to fight you
You changed me
You keep me in my thoughts
I’m stuck in a dark, empty place that I once called myself
You have taken my life away
Why can’t you just be gone already
I do not want you here, I never allowed you in
I don’t want you here anymore
I can’t take the fighting for my life
You’ve ruined me
You’ve destroyed my mind, heart, body, my everything
I write these words, crying, knowing how much you damaged me
I’m demanding you to leave and never come back
There isn’t enough room for the pair of us
So may the best one win
