Who Am I?
Who Am I?
Do you dare to ask?
I have yet to tell my story
It is long and filled with sorrow
My story is full of horrors of the night
Do you dare to ask?
I have no time and it’s deemed very boring
It is long and as said by my Spanish nurse “No es claro”
My story is famous yet is not in sight
Do you dare to ask?
I was abused by my father
And I nurtured my mother through it all
My sister was not to be found
Do you dare to ask?
Some believe that I leave out the happiness but I cannot be bothered
I held her hand until she said I was about...

You
You took me around, like some brand new car. Let the other boys sit in me, ride in me, feel me. You watched me like a hawk. Waiting for any mistake; Waiting for The mistake. You took my hand and I felt as if I had been shackled. Your touch was cold as metal and a hand as hard as nails. It won't be 'til April when the frost melts and the sun starts to shine. This is Chicago, the land of two seasons...winter and construction. But it always felt like construction when you were there. It was loud and unrelenting, the pounding and screaming. I screamed until my voice went silent. I wept until my...

I get What I Want
"You're beautiful," he says as he leans over the mirror and snorts perfect lines of snow. I was laying naked in his bed, wondering how funny this all was. In my mind I was 18 again...standing next to him and running my fingers through his hair. I felt so used then but its only a matter time until the abused become the abuser. Now at 22, I call him when my legs turn shaky and my panties wet. HA! I get what I want.

I love you
I love you
What will it take?
To push me down
On the floor exposed and bare
Will you still love me?
After I take these pills
And regurgitate everything you said
What do you want?
Everything I own is yours
I swear.
Where will we go from here?
No map, no compass
Just here in this dusty bowl
When will you hurt me?
It’s just about time
And I’m asking for it
Now where do I stand?
For that slap in the face
Or the spanking of the ass
What will I do without you?
I don’t care anymore
About how much it hurt...
What will it take?
To push me down
On the floor exposed and bare
Will you still love me?
After I take these pills
And regurgitate everything you said
What do you want?
Everything I own is yours
I swear.
Where will we go from here?
No map, no compass
Just here in this dusty bowl
When will you hurt me?
It’s just about time
And I’m asking for it
Now where do I stand?
For that slap in the face
Or the spanking of the ass
What will I do without you?
I don’t care anymore
About how much it hurt...

Valium is my Favorite Color
Valium is My Favorite Color
Blue, pink, and yellow and white
The plastic bottles fall to the floor
And I only have to reach out to grab a handful
My throat is dry and my glass empty
But the room swirls
And I feel better again
Blue, pink, and yellow and white
Don’t tell me I’m out of control
I know where I’m going
I’m going to have fun
And you can try to stop me
But I can’t guarantee
Blue, pink, and yellow and white
Blue, pink, and yellow and white
The plastic bottles fall to the floor
And I only have to reach out to grab a handful
My throat is dry and my glass empty
But the room swirls
And I feel better again
Blue, pink, and yellow and white
Don’t tell me I’m out of control
I know where I’m going
I’m going to have fun
And you can try to stop me
But I can’t guarantee
Blue, pink, and yellow and white

Fine
FINE
Please
leave me be
Just
let me alone
I’m
fine.
The
subject is tired and old.
Can’t
we just pretend I never happened.
I’m
fine.
My
head is driving me crazy.
The
pain is unbearable
I’m
fine.
No words
can describe what I feel
You
cannot understand
I’m
fine.
You
cannot save me
No
one can.
I’m
fine.
I

Clean
Clean
The
water drips down steady and warm.
Will
my sins be washed away?
Over
my breasts, on my stomach and down my thighs
The
drops collide into a stream
If
I step out I might be renewed
To
start a fresh new page
I
just want to stand here forever
It
would all be so simple
Just
close my eyes and listen.
It
taps against my window
And
whispers my name.
It’s
calling me to join them ...

Strangers
Strangers
He grabbed me by the throat,
Cutting off all my air supply
I struggled and strained.
Promising myself that I would win
His hand took mine
Like we weren’t strangers anymore
And I slapped him in the face,
Breaking skin with my nails
Scarlet, preposterous droplets scattered on my shirt
He thrust his hips so they ground against my own
I spat on his designer shoes
And he smiled like a screw
Conquer and control is what he came for
But I won’t spread my legs without a price
He doesn’t ask or persuade
Just takes and...

Heart
Heart
Lost in a deep gaping hole
I slip my hand inside
The slippery mucous is warm
I just can’t seem to reach it
Far below it simmers in anger
Angry for being left alone
“Alone is what you wanted!”
I scream through my wrenching sobs.
Still, I stretch and wiggle my fingers
So close to grasping the treasure
So far from understanding why
Why it is hidden from the world
Weary, my arm goes slack
But I can feel the vibrations from below
Thump, thump, thump
Shall I plunge into the abyss?

Bring on the Aspirin
Bring on the Aspirin
5 shots and 6 beers
Until I fell to the floor
3 hits and 2 pills
Until I undressed into your arms
My hair is messed up
And my makeup is smeared
Until tomorrow I won’t care
Until I sober up will I remember
They’re just memories
But they feel so real
Until I burn his shit
Will I feel better
3 years and I still feel his touch
1 month and it will be our anniversary
Until he’s dead will I cry
And when he’s gone Ill go sober
Love me until nothing
Bring on the aspirin
