Reflexively, i shut down
as trauma floods my mind.
What a ridiculous reason to cry,
what a childish fault.
One word.
Just
"Yep."
and my world crashes around me.
**** you, Lucy.
You'll never know what a decade old sentence can do.
My psyche shatters
and i fold inside myself
and my words are silenced
(but my Thoughts are not)
and my eyes are wet
and i am torn to pieces
as rough hands work to fit me back into my mold.
