Banana
Banana
Imagine yourself as a banana
Growing up knowing your only purpose
is to fulfill someone else’s needs.
Your whole life means absolutely nothing.
Your sole purpose is to be poked and prodded
Judged by your color and size
Then to be taken away and violated
Having your outermost layer
ripped away from you
as if it were meaningless,
The only thing that made you feel safe
In a world where no one cared how you felt.
You’re naked, vulnerable, and helpless.
Hands wrap around you
You want to scream at the top of your lungs for help
The pain you feel as they force themself onto you
Every bite and every swallow
Piece by piece you’re drifting away
And in your last thoughts you wonder
Why?
Why me?
Why us?
Are we just not strong enough?
But you realize you are just a banana
This is your purpose
