I Deserve It

Samantha Campbell, Guest Writer, Creative Writing|July 15, 2016

I deserve to be punished

That’s what they said

Those cruel little voices

Dancing in my head

How dare I be so worthless

So cruel and unrefined

Why can’t I be perfect,

Pretty, and kind

I deserve to be punished

Why can’t they see

There’s no place on earth

For a pathetic thing like me

Slice my skin

Break my heart

Burn my insides

And pull me apart
