I am, I hate, You are

[Guest Mr. Snuggleuffagus]

I stood there, paralyzed, as the figure ahead of me took off.

She whispered three words under her breath.

I wanted to cry, to scream, to move.

But I was held down by the bondage of pride.

Locked down by the fear of rejection.

Fatigued by the lack of esteem.

So I just stood there

expressionless, motionless,

empty.

The same three words on repeat in my mind.

"I"

I am sorry

I am a coward

I am a failure

I am broken

"Hate"

I hate myself

I hate how things have happened

I hate that I was whatever you wanted but never what you needed

I hate that I disappointed you

"You"

You are everything

You are precious

You are a victim

You are too pure for this world

And just like that, She was gone.
