Nurse Bishop: Targeted Individual Sexual Harassment and Medical Abuse Script
in 1974, the Eugenics Board of North Carolina was quietly disbanded after it came to light that many of the seven thousand people whom were illegally and immorally sterilized had no prior knowledge as to what was about to be done to them. Their consent was not asked for, neither was it given. The county of Mecklenburg (Charlotte) sterilized three times the number of residents, more than any other county in the entire state.
My story with the Mecklenburg County Health Department started in two thousand and nine. At the request of my primary care physician, that I...

Mama
Mama cried, “girl, go play outside”
‘Said “Ya daddy and I gotta talk”
And I told her
“Mama, all there iz’z dirt”
Cuz it wuz summertime
And even the hounds were cryin’ and achin’ under the sun
Their ribs pokin’ out like mine
Hell, them dawgs stayin’ in the yard with no water
And they wasn’t even fenced in
Guess they jus’ ain’t got the spirit to leave
I suppose they wuz jus’ like mama
‘Said “Ya daddy and I gotta talk”
And I told her
“Mama, all there iz’z dirt”
Cuz it wuz summertime
And even the hounds were cryin’ and achin’ under the sun
Their ribs pokin’ out like mine
Hell, them dawgs stayin’ in the yard with no water
And they wasn’t even fenced in
Guess they jus’ ain’t got the spirit to leave
I suppose they wuz jus’ like mama

Letter to Keith
Dear Mr. Raniere,
There's something you need to remember
Age is not a number
It is the boundary between consent and manipulation
Knowledge is power and you're scary smart
That's not a compliment
You're about as close to God as Manson and Hubbard
But what do I know? I'm the weaker sex.
You are the master, and I, the servant.
Tell that to Joan of Arc, you piece of shit.
If heaven exists, I'll kindly ask God to send me straight to hell.
I'm sure he'll understand.

Father's Day
The last time I saw you breathing
Paralyzed from waist down
On hospital bed, vulnerable
I wanted your recognition
But you hugged the younger
Acknowledging your paternity
Our next meeting, you slept
As I faced a gauntlet
Of knees and sniping mouths
You lay in a wood box
So motionless
Creeping realization darkened
My five year old heart
I tried to keep you alive
Setting my eyes to follow your aims
"You will never be a race car driver!" mom screamed
Punctuating the rebuttal with a hard slap ...

Whole Again
I spent the last fifteen years
Counting the cracks
On the road from
My heart to my mind
Splintered reminders
Of a long fall from grace
Descent from the cradle to my grave
Back to being whole again
Counting the cracks
On the road from
My heart to my mind
Splintered reminders
Of a long fall from grace
Descent from the cradle to my grave
Back to being whole again

Everyday Drama..
Walking along a tightrope
Balancing between calm and tranquillity
And the way things used to be..
Caution leads the way
Knowing one slip
One mistake
Will leave me being the one to pay
And pay i will..
Tip toeing on egg shells
Wondering what Will break first
I've Been here time and time again
But the scenes no way rehearsed..
Softly speaking..
Knowing If you wake the voice that hides within..
1000 Apologies
Then notify your next of kin..
Nothing will stop what follows
The downward spiral
Of pain ...

I’d been living the aftermath
Of your so-called love
The sublime liberation
I always dreamed of
Is a hilltop paradise
Reassemblage of the pieces left behind.
You tore through my walls,
A twister reaching landfall
Divine retribution I reckon
For some past life unlearned lesson
That’s the only way
I can rationalize this disarray.
Even so, I cannot disgrace
The child whose body you defaced
Judgement is on the way
A force so heavy you can’t escape

Am I a rapist?
She called me
She came to me
She told me she was ready
It was time to take our relationship to the next level
"Are you sure?"
I asked
Repeatedly so
Because the last time we spoke
She was caught up in a place between us making love and her keeping her purity
And she chose the road of abstinence
I Respected her
I Waited for her
I loved her
Not even once did I ever ask her to act against her own will
But she came to me
She recited love poetry to my ears
Sent goosebumps down my veins
Entangled...

Happiness
Sought for by all, truly achieved by few.
So many search for years, decades, some even their entire lifetime to find you.
Despite the ever-growing search party, you’ve remained elusive as ever.
The path leading to you is seemingly never straight.
The “wise” say you’re found within, but in a life of struggle that seems to prove false.
After all, the happenings outside of one’s heart sway the happenings inside.
No game is harder than that of life.
Never is the game of life more difficult when one is dealt a bad hand.
And for every king you draw,...

Re. Satan's Son
I begged you to kill me, do it tomorrow
Never had life anyways, just borrowed
This time I don't ask for your forgiveness
I tried everything but still brought you only illness
I'm unfit, I admit
I shouldn't exist, finish me, I won't resist
When I'm finally dead, you can smile when they engrave my name to the stone
My death is your own, please let my family mourn
When you watch from afar and my friends leave me to peace
Go to my grave and give me back all you once took, every piece
I burned the world for you when you were cold ...
