the wind who cools
the wind shoves
the wind braids my hair
the wind tangles my hair
the wind blows my tears away

I've always been a friend of fear,
it's followed me everywhere i go.
But fear became my best friend
when pain became my world.
My life took turns I didn't expect
my body used
my mind abused
there was a sort of wailing in the street.the type that only mothers could hear in darkened rooms as daughters faced their brothers heat.the type that crashlanded onto to jetpads and showed no mercy when the reigns of endeavors held tight until th
I look normal, I believe,
Hungry eyes of a frightened girl stealing moments of weakness in the dark by herself in the night.
I believe they don't see it,
Most of the time I try to pretend it does not exist.
The darkness in his eyes.

Her whimpering.
His threatening.
The clasp of a hand on her throat.
Poison slithering up her thighs.
The darkness engulfing her.
My roommates hosted a house party
My friends were there
Strangers were there
There was alcohol
Then there was you
I didn’t know you
You called me your girlfriend after one conversation
I wake up in the morningAnd alreadyI don’t know where my day has gone.I run to the bathroom,Slap some makeup on.
We grow up hearing "stranger danger" but what do we do when the danger isn't a stranger but someone whose half of DNA lives inside you?
I was born from drug addicted parents, but no one saw me.
I father killed himself when I was at the age of two, but no one saw me.
My mother was mentally ill and abusive, but no one saw me.

I said the word no and meant it
That doesn’t mean you ask again
Same answer between now and then
It’s the kind of grief
That hurts all over,
A tight ball in your chest
That loosens with each sob.
But the sobs never stop
And neither does the pain
That encompasses your body
It's sad how easy this topic is nowadays,
because it happens so much.
Rape, violation, abuse, molestation,
you can't turn the news on without it being mentioned.
Too many women get assaulted,
A shiver creeps across the spine
As if lifeless hands were playing it like a grand piano.
Words are spoken in the hushed tone of a eulogy
Dripping off of chapped lips like a venom-spitting snake.
