//Modest Proposal

I’m sick of hearing my life’s a haiku.

I’m into magic, love, and other sorts of things that are typically voodoo.

I’m half ***** from a half assed absent African baby boomer brat.

I’m half white trash.

Here’s a well formed of dried tears turned into something to sooth my canine teeth.

It tastes like Moonshine.

I can’t swim anymore, so I’m here drowning in a concrete pool.

Always, I look for the hell in you.

 

I sharpen my boot knife for ****** assault protection.

The first swipes for the plus 200,000 in counting.

The seconds for the 66 percent underreported.

The lasts for me,

the 29 percent victims aged 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, and 12.

 

We have a higher rate of risking everything.

For depression x3.

For committing suicide x4.

For post traumatic stress disorder x6.

For alcohol abuse x13.

For drug abuse x26.

 

You all think I’m crazy,

I’m not.

 

I sometimes get called

stupid, ugly, ***** and thot.

 

I’m in pain, in sorrow.

I can’t help it.

He did it.

No one can undo it.

What do we do about it?

 

I wont scream, I won't cry.

 

I’ll ask how he’s doing with glitter and tears in the corner of my eye.

And after he's done molesting me,

"Want to go grab some coffee or tea?"

Personally, I like the cafe down the street.

They sell good brunch with amazing croissants.

 

And after this is over,

I’d ask him how it was while he turned me over.
