issues

This is a story
not a full book
turn the next page
and take another look

what do you see?

Is there something dead?
ive gone over it before
I see myself before I bled

I see myself
my body gone and withered
I tried playing dead
and the snake that bit me
slithered

off into the lawn
now my body lays cold

I tried to be saved
but the story went untold

hacking and slashing
and tearing at my skin
I tried to hide my demons
but they broke in

I tried to escape
but once you say no once
its considered raped

now child abuse

thats a story we all know
thats a problem in this country
that never ceases to grow
