9, I was invaded, A personal space to be kept hidden, Was shattered with the memories, Of the father hovering above me. 11, I was invaded, My brain tracing the outlines, Of models curves, While I refused to eat in the presence of others. 16, I was invaded, A duck and weave, As I avoided the fist, Of my boyfriend's tensed muscles. 17, I refuse to be invaded, My lungs a dark red, Screaming for me as I defend myself, And it all stops. I was not invaded. - M.Y.
