Mar 2021
I wrap my arms around my tears
raining upon my misery. I'm in no
position to make demands. I beg for
you to unfold me upon myself until
they see the real me as you did. You
knew me with Virginity before you
took it from me and left me to bleed
from the wound that never goes away.
It never shows mercy. It cheapens me.
It leaves the smell of blood perfume.

It never shows mercy. It cheapens me.
It leaves the smell of blood perfume.
It has to be shedding just another of society's burdens. We're all born into unknown worlds. We play as children and go to the same public schools and assimilate and are best friends and turn the giant wheel of a generation.
