when was the last time you went out of your house and felt truly safe?
safe from words that stick to your body long after you washed it
safe from hands that grab your insides and never let go
when was the last time you heard yourself speak your truth?
the truth of what life has turned you into, for better or for worse
the truth that no matter how much you plead, the shadows just inch closer and closer
when was the last time you opened your eyes and saw the world
not the hellscape it warped into
not the demons that rule over the once green land
when was the last time you stood and felt strong
instead of a quivering knee and broken bones
instead of a crippling fear
when was the last time you've seen peace?
when was the last time your world turned upside-down?
