I’ve never found charm in speaking
words that you don’t mean
or falling over sentences
struggling with broken speech
the same way that I have never found home
in the body I call mine
that internal war I fight
between my heart and between my mind.

The world will never understand
why I tremble in daily conversation
I cause confusion in my thoughts
skipping over words in trepidation
But miscommunication then turns to judgement
without a second glance
and your lack of hesitation destroys me
tracing it’s steps into my one woman war

Well isn’t that just like your fears,
setting you up for failure?

Maybe it's for the best
It seems to put my mind at ease
I'm finished scripting my life around your
mistakes and insecurities
Only for you to doubt what I preach
I find myself pondering upon the skies
Realizing I no one else to turn to
I begin to think about God
To the almighty being, I've never had faith in
Pleading for him to watch over my fellow peers
Lost in illusions
I realize I don't have time for this
I need to make a decision
Am I ready to let the past be the past?
More importantly
is it really for the best?

Her fragile bones ache
With the remembrance
Of hands grasping
At her empty forms
And voices cooing lies
Of calmness

Her skin was pins and needles
And her mind screamed no
Each kiss pierced her soul
And with each whisper
She wished for death

His body,
Pressing hard into hers,
Caused an explosion of rigidness
Arms forcing action
Out of her lifeless form

Small whimpers escape through her mouth
While her mind is screaming

NO

Her bones shatter
And her heart aches
Tears fall
And silence breaks

He is done
My therapist kept telling me to write about an experience I had a year ago. I wasn't sure how I could write about one of the worst moments of my life; I could barley even think about it. Finally, though, I produced this.
