I'm tired of my shoes, they don't fit, they're too loose.
I wore them as you said I needed to choose,
live at home and be abused, or go away and lose everything,
taken away from friends, home, love - hanging a noose.

There is much I can leave behind, your strong words,
the way you blamed me with your slurs.
the way the tag itches and the use of the word bitches,
small hints of verbal assault, narcissism giving me itches.
