She acted as if she had thick skin
Not allowing them to see how their words stuck to her
Even though they were stamped hard against her skin
Their ink slowly began to ooze
Filling her pores
Seeping into her skin
Lacing her blood cells
Sending the putrid thoughts to her mind
Snaking around her confidence and optimism
Lacing them with venomous words
Having them play over in her mind
As a song stuck on repeat
Not be able to fend off the cold, painful embrace
Of the hate and lies
Her light dimmed
The darkness began its feast

My Lord, you nailed how I felt 2+ years ago when I was diagnosed with mental health disorders, and recovering from alcohol abuse. Your words penetrated me so deeply.
Amazing, truly amazing!!

They most certainly do. That is my goal in my blogging. If I can help others through my experiences, even if it only one person… Then that means I have assisted another through their feelings of hopelessness.

Beautifully put and exactly what I would like as well. If my writing can make one person feel less alone in this world.
