1700

By the height of skyscrapers
These glorious buildings glowing brightly in the New York sky
Though people wouldn't know it of me
(my alone if they tried)
Someday perhaps you'll come to realize this
and in seeing (through the glass) notice
That I was here all along standing quietly beside
Verse number 1700 for me (at least here).

It's about my height, lol.

Hit me with your car
So i can pave my way
Into breaking down
What it means to exist
In a world so ruthless
I can't experience fragility

Verbally abuse me
So i can help you understand
You're not free from consequences
In a world that is blind
To teach what family is to friend

Touch my body without consent
So i can show you that you're a fool
For messing with a mind so divine
It can split up your body in twelve
In a world so quiet
You hear their screams

Pin me down and suffocate me
So i can finally escape this madness
With a reason to leave
In a world with no crime
But have you wiped your eyes

Make pretend i don't exist
So i can talk to the toys
They always listen to the words i said
When she didn't
In a world where you are failed
To be loved and felt accepted

Put a knife to my throat
So i can be defenseless
Over a music CD
Still haunts my memory
Like an iPod on repeat
In a world where power dynamics
matter more than being a child in front of a t.v.
Created a picture and it gave me a flashback to my car accident that happened years ago. I wanted to write something detailing that experience but other traumatic ones as well.

Me
In the midst of
a minefield no
headphones nothing
and this time
so be it
This time I'm
not doing
the mine dance
Not avoiding the mines, cause I can't.
