I can’t seem to get this out of my mind, Memories flood my while I sing. Trying to avoid them, I get louder. Until no longer singing I scream.
Begging for some sort of refuge, Knowing there is not an escape. As if I’m marked by that word, Not ‘victim’, not ‘attacked’, but ****. It’s as if everyone could clearly see it, Etched into my face.
Making escape impossible, I find myself in a constant race. Running to the point of exhaustion, Once again failing, falling, then retreating, Into my silent, black space.
