Oh my goodness!
Who did this to you?
Are you okay?
Is there someone
I could contact to?

A first I look
in your eyes
blood dripping
on the left
black as tar
on the right
I'm here
wondering
who tried to
take out your
life.

Your arms
cut into stripes
I kept asking you
are alright
nothing
Your bruised
legs are numb
and your lower
back has a bump
whoever did this
made sure you
had enough.

I told you
that I'm not
leaving
I'm not
leaving
for I
needed
an explanation
for your beating.

I wanted to know
who tattooed
your neck dark
who drenched
your lips
with a ******
mark?

You finally
looked up
and after
I asked
in depth
you told me
who done it
first name
My
last name
Self.
Be kind to yourselves
