don't you dare laugh
because she attempted to inject hot glue into her skin
don't you dare laugh
about the chemicals she swallowed to get away from you
don't you dare laugh
about the bruises left around her throat
don't you dare laugh
at the scars dug deep into her veins
you can laugh
all you want at my past, my mistakes, and my pain
but don't you dare laugh
at her
even if I don't know her name.
