She Writes
She was forced to hurt silently
To never speak about her childhood
To hold back pain and tears
For the comfort of others
At the expense of her own sanity

Imagine forcing a volcano
To never erupt
Every time lava bubbles to the surface
And the pressure is too great
You force it deeper into the volcano

Eventually both she, and the volcano
Will erupt!

As for my family
We like our drinks strong
Our whiskey neat
Our tequila straight
And our women silent

She Writes
You said love is fleeting.
That we should be happy
For the time we had
When we had it.

You saw us as a grain of sand,
While I saw us as the hourglass.

You said love never lasts.
That the hottest
and brightest flame
Burns the fastest.

You saw us as a firework,
While I saw us as the sun.

She Writes
You took my innocence
And stole my childhood
I will not forgive
I won't ever forget

I will, however
Move on

I am not a victim
I am a survivor
What you did out of weakness
Has made me stronger

**** doesn’t always hide
At parties and outside clubs
**** doesn’t always hide
In dark alleys and empty parking lots
Sometimes it is right in front of you
But you choose to look the other way
**** doesn’t always hide
Behind the faces of strangers in the night
Sometimes it is hiding behind the closed doors
Of your uncles
Cousins
Fathers
And brothers
**** isn’t always loud-
Screaming, yelling, and crying
Sometimes **** is quiet-
Gasping for air and silent tears

She Writes
She has lived thousands of lives
Through others eyes
She has slain monsters
Fallen in love countless times

Books keep her sane
Page by page
Line by line
Losing herself for awhile

She Writes
I either give one hundred percent
Or nothing

With me
There is no in between

I love with all my heart
I lose myself

Always putting others feelings
And happiness above my own

One of the hardest lessons
I have had to learn is

That you can give someone the world
And still not have a place in it
