In life, there are things that we aren't meant to see
And what ears shouldn't hear
I used to hear screams and shouts while I was in my room
It sounded like they were coming from outside
But one day my curious mind sent my eyes to my home kitchen, red floor but we were out of Tomato sauce
My moms head was on the floor, my step dad was fixing his belt.

In the morning she asked me "what did you see"
I said Nothing
The following day was my day, he gave me claps,boots on my lips were my daily kisses
I've had enough!

"Dear: Mama, I had to do it, after he beat you,and you still with him.I realy had to do this, he said if I ever tell you what he did to me  he would **** you, since im gone, im sure you still alive. I love you :-) "

(The paper was damp of his tears, and that was the last time we heard from him 10 year old.
#Found hanging on a rope in his room)

I prayed for light, He sent me sun
I prayed for moisture, He sent me dew
I prayed for beauty, He sent me flowers
I prayed for love, He sent me you
Write your lies on my heart,
etched in graphite promises.

My heart of paper black dark,
dishonest words ominous.

I erased the love stained mark,
now my heart is flawless.

I've turned my canvas into art,
I have found true solace,
in all  this.
I am someones Adonis,
and she is my goddess.

I could do nothing
else but stop
and step inside
this blessed shop
to breathe again
the heady air
of knowledge that
is stacked in here
on quiet shelves
in dusty lines
of books that would
look nice on mine
but I have spent
my money so
I'll just choose one
and quietly go.

Shhhhh!
bibliomania
by any means necessary.
