I am the....
I am the bullet that one uses to kill another,
The man who pulls the trigger puts me in the position to kill,
I'm innocent till i'm set loose to ruin another.
I am the tire that flattens on the road,
No one pays attention till they can no longer drive to their destination,
you fill me up then go on till I have no more air once again.
I am the water that one drinks,
they pick me up when they have thirst,
then forget I was even there.
I am the girl one has abused,
I loved them till I saw no use,
they say it's my fault but now they are the...

Playing Small
We've been playing this game
So long
We'd forgotten the name
To end it all
Listen to what they say
And you'll be changing
Every day
For the rest of your days
I've had enough
Manipulation, subjugation
Dilution of myself
Playing small
So long
We'd forgotten the name
To end it all
Listen to what they say
And you'll be changing
Every day
For the rest of your days
I've had enough
Manipulation, subjugation
Dilution of myself
Playing small

Sh
Shudder no more,
my frightened wish
else you'll be sore
and mute as a fish
shine no more,
my shaded sun
let me explore
let me have fun
shivering fate,
awaiting the slit
open your gate
I will be quick.
after an age
of tipping my toes
lonely and caged
a withering rose
waiting,
to be your choice
sating,
your simmering voice
ordered to slavery
considered a toy
rid of all bravery
your gullible boy
and maybe I'd stay ...

to suddenly be old
To suddenly be old
It came so suddenly one day I woke and was old
I thought it was never going to happen.
To be old is ok up to a point, but the body is falling apart
I walk with a cane now, constant pain when walking unaided.
I have lost my sense of humour nothing is funny,
What made me laugh has turned into shrug about the idiocy
Of humans. We see this clearly when a British troops board
An Iranian vessel, after request, by the USA it is laughable
How they want a war that has no reason other
Then revenge when Iranian students took over the...

Domestic
Another night, another fight
I'm in my room, I'm full of fright
So much stress, so much pain
I wish it all would go away
Do you even care what you've done?
You hurt your wife, your daughter and son!
Another night, another fight
Kick and scratch, claw and bite
Why did you cheat, why did you lie?
You make me sick, you make me cry
Do you even care what you've done?
You hurt your wife, your daughter and son!
Another night, another fight
He throws a left, he throws a right
A broken nose, a bruise and...

My Monster
Hands like a vise around my throat kicking and clawing at my monsters face his evil grin Branding deep inside my brain straddling me on the kitchen floor will this be where I die by the long squeal for much-needed air my heart beat like a drum rumbling through my ears tears rolled down my cheeks disappearing within my hair my face turning blue as I begin to go limp the Vice on hinges and I cough once oxygen hits my throat shoving me back down he kisses my bruised lips I know what he's going to do not again not again I shake my head and I cry out by protest grabbing me by the hair and dragging...

Asunder
Be safe child
There is darkness a foot
Over yonder
The pallid stare of despair
Calls for you
Set a new
Deliverance to falter through
Silence nestles comfortably there
Amongst the decay of your smile
Sweet wounds to suffer
There is darkness a foot
Over yonder
The pallid stare of despair
Calls for you
Set a new
Deliverance to falter through
Silence nestles comfortably there
Amongst the decay of your smile
Sweet wounds to suffer

Playground
fear of the unnamed
and unknown
I climb inside
and live there
the eight year old girl
hiding behind my
Mama’s strong legs
silently pleading
begging mute
while she pushes me
forward, angry, disappointed
demanding I shrug
my heavy shoulders
into the shy smile
and polite demeanor
she has picked out
for me to wear
my skin recoils
angry nerve endings
in sudden, involuntary protest
fingers reaching for me
cold claws of dread
latching onto my spine
digging...

He comes in
So here's the thing
He comes in-
A friend
Gay friend
Top dominant male
Versatile at times
But dominant either way
He comes in-
We've been friends for a while now
Met in a club
A week later he told me he was gay
"Cool!"
Ain't none of my business that you like to insert it in the butt
Or do you like it inserted in your butt?
Anyways, that ain't my business.
He tells me anyways
"I like doing the inserting"
"Sometimes, on rare occasions, I accept the inserting"
He comes in-
Tells me he likes me ...
