you will
not know a
life like
mine
until
your body
has been so
inhumanely
violated
more than
once
when each time
the villain
left
vile words
that
left
a vile feeling
in your mouth
you will
not know
a life like mine
until
you have spent
your
whole
life
knowing nothing
but
dishonesty
as a
mean to get
by?
where caring for
someone
called for
a
daily whipping?
where
the place you should
feel safe
is the
only place
you
wish
to be
away from?
to grow up
learning
that your
soulmate
will only be
green
and
that
4 letters
to a
wretched word
never prevail
and
that
these
few
events
have drained
all meaning
from
the word love?
i
have spent
so long
apologizing
for what
i
am
not
but no more,
i wish to
grant release
to my lungs
and split open my ribcage
so that i
can
finally breathe
?
