Roommate

My words and actions matter for how else can I express..

The times that joy has filled my soul or times I've been depressed?

I can't believe you're jealous of any self-care which I do

When I am simply healing the pain you put me through.

I sought to end the reaper, whose spirals pulled me in.

To you it was a weakness and showing weakness is a sin.

You ranted and you pleaded to be allowed inside my shell

In seeking to protect you, I've trapped myself in hell.

To others I'm an angel, a light within the dark.

Their love and care protect me from the evil in your dark..

All the demons who seek to kill off any warmth within this spark.
