Tension

Info

The tension inside me, oh how it grows!
I try to tell her about the abuse that's bestowed upon me,
By neighbours and strangers that stalk and defemate my character-steal my light,
The light that is my life thread my soul,
I tell her about the hours and hours of being followed and the neighbourhood whispering derogatory things about me,
That all the gaslighting they are doing, and she is too by telling me 'it's all in your head Rachel!',
That what she says to me she thinks is reassuring me is actually endangering me,
Because my own mother doesn't believe me,
Just because I've suffered from psychosis and madness in the past does not mean that this is not happening,
Oh god why won't she listen! Why should I have to leave my own home to find safety?,
Isn't your home supposed to be a safe place?,
To me it's just a war zone, an area of land filled with scar tissue and sleepless nights and tears building up inside.
