Gaslighted

Is it me or my altered sense of reality

But something is not right, it smells fishy

You tell me the negativity is all in my head

I should concentrate on the positive aspects instead

You undermine my confidence at every turn

You leave me stranded in confusion

What you mean I can never figure out

I try to decipher your actions but am left in doubt

You dismiss my interpretation in seconds and then chide me

Making me feel incompetent repeatedly

I wonder if my sanity is intact multiple times a day

I fantasize about breaking free and running away

Except that your tentacles are spread far and wide

And I do not have the ability to hide

*

I am tolerating your behavior, while trying to build

My resilience until the cup of dissatisfaction from you is filled

Even if nothing seems to be favorable for me now

I shall wait for Karma to show me the path forward somehow
