Turn the handle Rudimentary Still I respond this way Stutter of water Fear the sound I respond this way Water in drops Water in streams All I want to do is scream Close my eyes Down my back and up my spine Fearing the water Fear in the water Remembering takes me there Help me, don’t dare… Help me, don’t dare… Remembering this place Fearing his actions Cleanliness is violation Bend the story Lie to myself I know the problem I can’t fix it by myself Can’t speak… Brought shame… Feel pain… I fear… Can not touch a man Can not be near you Can not open how I feel Can not un-bottle emotions Can not let you in Can not let them know Memories Break me down I’ll build me up Traumatized Beat me up I’ll get stronger I’ll stitch the wound Learn to forgive Make me forget Look at what you’ve done.

Look At What You've Done
Turn the handle Rudimentary Still I respond this way Stutter of water Fear the sound I respond this way Water in drops Water in streams All I want to do is scream Close my eyes Down my back and up my spine Fearing the water Fear in the water Remembering takes me there Help me, don’t dare… Help me, don’t dare… Remembering this place Fearing his actions Cleanliness is violation Bend the story Lie to myself I know the problem I can’t fix it by myself Can’t speak… Brought shame… Feel pain… I fear… Can not touch a man Can not be near you Can not open how I feel Can not un-bottle emotions Can not let you in Can not let them know Memories Break me down I’ll build me up Traumatized Beat me up I’ll get stronger I’ll stitch the wound Learn to forgive Make me forget Look at what you’ve done.
This was written December 26, 2009. Very raw and unedited.
