I tried to write a poem about how I felt but the paper just stayed empty because how do you write out the sudden realization that because you trusted and told a secret a friend will never look at you the same how do you write out your screams when he lays his cold hands on your body how do you write out the red of your skin after trying to scrub his touch off how do you write out the sound of her voice when she laughs and calls your name how do you write out the taste of your tears when your parents say you’ll always be a girl how do you write out loneliness and watching your two friends talk and laugh while you just sit quietly how do you write out jealousy and regret when you see how little everyone cares I don’t know how to write this poem I guess I’m just not a good poet.
