I have been through
the early days
the ugly ways
I was there with a smile
I had to smile through the tears
as you shattered
everything I knew.
ignored all of my advice
I was not allowed to fear them
play nice with these body parts
where we are safe
where we are ok
we have tried to forget the beatings
of my broken heart.
and the abusive memories
but sometimes it feels like the universe
is tearing me apart
where we feel fine
where we feel secure
outside looks ominous
but beneath the oceans waves
all these visions with infinite potential
so stop seeing all this change as mental
you don’t understand me at all.
I am fierce, I am brave too.
I do not have to behave like they do.
