sacrificing values and views
the uncomfortable space left behind
tight air leaving weak lungs
folding limbs like paper
eyes that saw too much
frozen as the witness
anything to quiet the noise
anything to cover the bruises
and the trauma begins again

the uncomfortable space left behind
tight air leaving weak lungs
folding limbs like paper
eyes that saw too much
frozen as the witness
anything to quiet the noise
anything to cover the bruises
and the trauma begins again
