i am told
"be quiet. don't tell anyone."
my body is broken.
my body is torn.
my body is not my body anymore.
i am told
"clean yourself up. get to bed."
my body burns.
my body is stained.
i am ashamed.
i wander back to the bedroom
and find teddy awake.
the look on his face makes me break
on the inside.
"what did he do?"
you know what he did
we all know what he did;
but we have to stay
