Fend off our victimisation
Our celestial visualisation
Help to keep the harmful at bay
Tell us how love will find a way
In times of ruinous meandering
When our cognitive strengths are weak
As baneful people take to slandering
I will be there just seek
I'm where you alone will find me
When my troubled times will grind me
I will seek my comfort in you
There is nothing we cannot do
The jealous, vicious, ugly hate
That others land at our door
The pain in their lives must be great
To think they can destroy our core
Life takes over it beats you down
But your accomplishments renown
The person you are in my eyes
As through the ashes you will rise
We stand, as always, together
As one potent heart forever

I will not stand by while abuse happens
six months of cyclical hell
the push and pull of your desire
insatiate
this issue has never been singular
confined to some imaginary private space
in the public view of us all
using your circumstances to justify
the victimisation of another
to the point of collapse
the coloniser builds a fort
because they're afraid
of their own violent mirror-image
projected into the landscape
do you recognise
yours?

its been almost five years and i can still tell you every word those kids spat on me with
i can recite every method of victimisation they deployed and i can name each one off by heart
its been almost five years and i still get nightmares, five years and i still can’t rationalise what i did to deserve that besides being myself, five years and i still blame myself for being a target even though i know better
its been almost five years and i still can’t see past those flaws that they made me so aware of at such a young age
its been almost five years and i still can’t stand up proud and look at myself and tell you I’ve embraced those qualities that i was down trodden on because of
its been almost five years and i still can’t see past them
five years
1 825 days
43 800 hours (approximately)
and i still see that girl
not that girl, that man, the she woman with no ***** and wide shoulders and ugly man arms that was too stupid to realise they were teasing her when they called her names by code so they launched a full throttle attack every break
i still see her, smiling and laughing with them while they mocked her shrinking smaller and smaller at every word (only metaphorically of course) because all she felt were the ever-spreading canyons of her body with her flaws that dipped and rose and spread across a landscape that would never be good enough
its been almost five years and i don’t hold them accountable for any of it
they didn’t build or live in that body (it was only i)
they didn’t chose to let it get to me (it was only i)
they didn’t decide to not tell anyone and let it fester so deep until the smell of ***** was the only thing that could mask the wreak of the insecurities left behind
i don’t know if i’d be different if none of that had occurred because who can blame events that happened five years ago for who i am today
all i know is i still wait, i still stay up long after everything is dark and still and quiet and the events still replay the words still hang over
amplified (by only i)
its been almost five years and all i can say is i hope those wretched people are better off now
(i hate that im so weak)

Clumsy dismount
down from the scrutiny of
cross cut shredder victimisation
A shamefaced, self-actualising whingebag
My name is Daughter
My name is Employee
My name is Passenger. Payee.
Belonging at an irreduceable remove from
A heart, childishly pasted
in a carapace of postage stamps.
Once kept in albums of purposeful art.
The role is guilt ridden recipient
more often than sender.
Reassembly will be
an inexpert labour of love
But not that kind, amigo
But not that kind
I'm to be my own pet.
I can see that once I was off
I was always off.
All of us who have lived
this close to the end of England
are forever leaving the sea
I am leaving the sea
and everything i've ever dumped in it
Cold chips. Warm eyes, busted loves
It's all now bound behind me.
For the continent For the sea.
Weeping now
and fielding concerned looks
not for me but for the balance
I'm so relieved
I'm so free I could bite something hard
and break my teeth.

When it comes to fairness,
feelings are useless
scales.
the curse of subjectivity, and
volunerability of ego,
smell of
victimisation. we will never
be free with this attitude. your
pain is always stronger than
mine, I will always be more
fatigued. I will never understand.
you will never understand.
one has always been through
a hotter Hell than the other.
deeper scars. bigger
disappointments. yes, we are both
bruised by Life.
so let us comfort each other,
rather than compete. there is no
room for it in our love.
we're both too old,
and have been through too much
to act like stubborn children.
there is no "i" in "denial".

You misunderstood my darling,
come closer, I'll whisper it to you;
closer now,
draw in once more,
I crave nothing more than your twisted temptation -
close enough?
**** you*
You did hear me correctly darling,
there was no stutter,
you are deserving of nothing less,
that's just it you see,
you deserve less than nothing
for you care for no-one
for destruction forms your entertainment
You got it yet?
Don't you dare think that I feel anything
I am neither angry nor sad,
I do not hate you,
I am indifferent
sorry for the victimisation.

you are lying on your back in a bed 5,487 miles away from home.
there are geckos trilling from the corridors and the trees cast shadows in the room
above the door, the air con whirs and you shift, sticky, skin sweating against starched cotton sheets
too hot, too humid, too much
everything is too much, but at least it’s too much here instead of too much back there;
you visit temples, vast and golden in their glory, and white and intricate in their purity; ocher where the sun has kissed blessings upon their pillars,
and pretend that you too are subjected to the numinous nature of sanctums and their spirits
and pray they don’t notice that the awe in their eyes isn’t reflected in yours,
hope they don’t sense that you are not here to heal, only to stretch old wounds into splitting open anew
you are ruining your life
you are ruining your life somewhere beautiful that’s been the making of so many others’ lives
but you always strived to be different, never recognising
that agony, despair, self-deprecation, self-victimisation, suffering—they’re the most common connecting factors between all humans
you are the same as the other six billion people aching and crying and spitting anger in their sorrow,
blind to the one billion ***** trying to make the world a better place so the rest of you might smile a little more often.
one of the geckos scurries across the ceiling and you flinch,
a moment of fear for the unknown before you settle once more and simply watch his little legs fidget his body to freedom through the slats of your propped open window.
inside your chest there’s a moment of heavy silence as your heart grapples for a connection between you and that little creature
both small little things striving to survive in a world too large, too bright, too crowded yet too empty
chasing freedom like a child chases a dream.
the moment passes.
your heart regains pace and your mind whirs with the lonely static of too much me time
you are ruining your life
not realising you’re weaker to suffer than you’d be if you tried to heal

You amaze me
You really do
With your selfishness
Your lies
Your exaggerations
With your vivid imagination
You amaze me
You really do
With your cruelty
Your evilness
Your irresponsibility
With your self victimisation
You amaze me
You really do

you told me that what goes around comes around
but if it comes around so rarely
just like my own happiness
it means that you can live in sin today
and i don't have the one of victimisation
