Tormented

Tears pour down my face
Violent images in my head
Anger pulses through my veins
Thick and hot and red

I can feel the invisibility
Wrapping me up in a fog
Of inferiority and loneliness
Rolling downhill like a log

Starved of my youth
And the will to live each day
The way I have been living
I want desperately to run away

I long to start anew
To be accepted and well fed
Instead of starving for attention
And feeling like I'm dead

To everyone around me
Friend and foe alike
Would someone please come save me
Before my temperature begins to spike?

Before the tormentors in my head
Mark me forever haunted
For a little touch of love
Is all I've ever wanted
