Preserving Horrors

She preserves her horrors in her bones

every detail carelessly engraved into her structure

every bump along the way creating a signature braille of her history

a silent story told by the curvature in her body

a girl crying on the inside

wheels of fake smiles and emotions move her

she is a mere puppet to a life she cannot control

the scars are too deep

she is too broken

she cannot tell her story

silenced by horror

her bones narrate.
