Your throat is tight
Don’t you feel the need to breathe?
Before your face turns blue
Do what they say is right
How unbelievable is it
Fixing your mind with glue

It’s fine, they promess
Even if you’re seeing double
And the nausea is too much
You just want to suffer less
Isn’t this worth the trouble
When you’re in a rush?

Life is about to start
What’s broken needs to heal
What’s lost needs to be found
They tear your mind apart
Can’t even tell what’s real
But it’s alright, you’ll come around
Cut me open
explore
what there is to
see

Label what you find
with beautiful
letters

Arrange them
in poetry

I have never tried so hard to scrub
the skin off of my body
every inch he so unlovingly
touched
I have never wanted to wash away
a human being
who took my morals and my body
away from me
I have never expected
to be a statistic
I have never expected
for it to be me
I am strong right?
I'm strong and free.
Until Im locked in a room
On my knees.
He humiliated
and he changed
Me.
Shower thoughts and coming out about my ****** assault

I'm sorry for who I am,
I don't mean to be defensive,
I don't mean to avoid you,
I'm just scared that I've done something wrong to ruin your time,
It's not you,
It never really is,
It's that I'm insecure about everything,
So don't be mad,
I really don't mean to be the way I am,
To my mother

I shared in your quiet confidence

The radio overplayed it far too long*

Because that clip gave you chills
And now I can't listen
Without shivers of my own
Only not from the song
But from the meaning you found
I like it now because it makes you happy and I enjoy watching you sing along
There are people in this world
that will make you whisper,  I love you
and then there are people in this world
that will make you scream, **** love....
