Gaslighting

He douses you in gasoline

And blames you when you catch fire

His words cut deep

And he blames you when you bleed 

His tone is condescending 

And he blames you for not understanding 

You explode into a million pieces

And he blames you for not keeping your cool

You bite your tongue and walk away

And he calls you childish 

Screaming on the Inside

I want to scream

but who would hear me 

My world spinning out of control 

and no one sees it coming 

the thoughts running rampant 

a jumbled mess of contradictions 

I want to scream 

but I sit in silence
