to be defined
by an assault
nobody should
ever endure
more than just
physical
violation
**** is an
assault on your
whole being
scars go deep
& you don't
understand how
to heal from it

but there is healing
beyond the 10 minutes
of fear and tears
there can be
intimacy in future
relationships
physical closeness
without any tremors
total vulnerability
without fingers of fear
clawing at your gut
you can be okay
take it from me
it won't define you
you will*
overcome
I really wanted to share this to let anyone who's gone through what I have that there can be healing from this and you can achieve physical intimacy again without all the trauma flooding back every time. It takes a lot of courage to open yourself up again, but I can assure you it is possible.

He, was a river his movement were very devine.

He would flood, the area of your home if conditions where just right.

Bring him more sand bags alright as the water begin too reach the fences height.

The land, was parting and sliding into mud as the river monster waves continue there plot of that day
River focal point
Malcontent characteristics recalcitrant inhibitions
unaware, unaware of conditions borderline severe heuristic clarified the ebb an flow  preventive
growth had to learn
on my own to listen
mr know it all
didn't know at all
the time it took
he didn't tell me
just handed a book
I handed it to the shelf
finally read it
evaluated myself
wealth of knowledge felt
like nothing, like nothing else so I sought to
challenge my thoughts
question my purpose
the rhythm of history
gave notes took notice
That change was focus
In continuous motion

we sat
in identical chairs

feet on the floor
eyes on the teacher

this man told us the tales of reality
but the characters went missing

we sat in identical chairs
offered questions we had fully prepared

articulated our 'best' thoughts
within the confines of our lot

we sat in identical chairs
scratched doodles in the margins

of our dreams and values,  
we hoped to never have to share

cause we're not fools
we have one voice
and certainly, no cares
cause we all
sat
in these identical chairs

Just Me R
I followed you to the ends of the earth
But you took me to a cliff
.... and threw me off.

How I long to be among the pages of a book that captures my attention so sweetly, then pulls me in and consumes me whole until I can’t think of anything else

I must read…I read to escape, to put myself in the place of others, to experience what I have yet to experience, to travel the world for ten to twenty dollars, I read to feel

I feel the emotions portrayed by the characters. The happy characters, the sad characters, the bitter characters. All such beautiful emotions depicted in words. I laugh and smile and cry and I hurt

Ultimately I hurt. The book ends. But I get such an exciting thrill from it that I read it again.
