Escapril Day 17: Power

TW: Manipulation, Abuse

NOTE: Prompts by @letsescapril on Instagram

Why is your fist always curled just so
Like you're always ready to lash out
Just until you're given a chance
Why is your head always held so high
Why is there such anger
In your eyes
You told me that I'm worthless
You told me that I'm nothing
I think I'm starting to believe your words
Your fists cannot break me
But your displeasure tends to take me
Down into the abyss
Oh what will you do
How many more people will you hurt
Until you're confident
Until you're sure
That you are the highest above
That the power is all yours
Please don't call me love
Why must you
Always
​Need so much power
