She never asked for something like this
Consent was not a part of it
But she will tell she surely asked him for a kiss.
Nevertheless, her voice will not admit to it
For if she speaks, she did not permit
Walking on a road and holding hand
The small one, with same skin and her hair color
With his eyes – dark and forest green
But she will smile, and call it "mint with sour"
The other one, same town...
It’s been maybe two weeks since the crash and still Tommy asks me questions. The doctor said I had a minor concussion, but I’d be find after a few days. I got lucky, really, really lucky.
“You remember your name?” Tommy takes a sip of his orange juice, staring at me from the other side of the counter.
I nod, wanting so much to run to the front door behind me and escape. “I think it’s . . . Dam...
I wish I could go back
Tell her what she didn’t know yet.
She’d probably ask me if I married that guy,
Or maybe she’d ask me if at last I’m fine.
I would shake my head and tell her no,
And there’s a thing or two she must know.
She’d probably look at me concerned or confused.
I mean, if you were six, what else would you do?
I’d tell her the truth,
Things will go wrong,
But don’t worry,

Her cold hands slowly going down my body
My heart racing as I pleaded with her to just stop
Reassuring me with a bright smile that we were just playing a game
I caved in and gave up with my own little pity party
After the fact I wanted to scrub all my skin off
But that wouldn’t be the last time now would it?
Each time I felt my identity leaving me
Who was I?
What was my purpose in life?

Once there was a girl;
This girl had a Dad who didn’t have much money. But he tried and he tried. He worked cutting grass and painting for people. He’d had a stroke a few years back, no one would let him work.
She had a Mom that was never there- there, but a zombie. Passed out on the couch, cigarette in her drooping hand, mouth slack from the drugs while the little girl’s Dad did his best to kee...

and he’d sit and accept it all.
eventually, he started retaliating,
and her anger grew like a hurricane.

In the darkness of her past, she found her strength,
A survivor, against all odds, she went to any length.
Through the shadows of abuse, she fought her way,
Emerging from the wreckage, stronger every day.
Stripped of her essence, but not her spirit or soul,
She learned to trust her instincts when love took its toll.
With scars as reminders, she vowed never to forget,
The lessons learned through p...
She didn’t need to watch endless Youtube videos on how to properly contour her face in cake-like makeup.
She needed to learn how to develop proper study habits.
She didn’t need to drink alcohol to cope with her unhappy relationships.
She needed to learn how to walk away from those who were no longer good for her.
She didn’t need to punish and un-love those from her past.

For you are fine the way you are.
You don’t need to change a thing.
You don’t need to be someone else to fit in
You don’t need to be like everyone else.
Because you are perfect.
You are beautiful. You are everything you need to be
Don’t change that for the world.
Don’t be someone you aren’t
And if you somehow forget that. I will be right there to remind you
To shower you with love and be everyth...
