More Lies.
I survived.
I can breathe.

What keeps you up tonight?
The foreign hands on body,
roaming without permission,
taking...taking...breaking...stealing
my light, my security, pieces of me.
What keeps you up tonight?
A broken pea fallen from her pod
a silence creating a divide

Do I want it to be?
What keeps you up tonight?
Jolting from dreamland
Deep wounds,
Red streaks from my neck to arms
fade with time.
You must forgive yourself. It was not your fault. It is not your fault. Forgiveness is key to release pain inflicted onto you. Let go of guilt. Let go of blame. Let it go and forgive.
