Little girl trauma
I know I am not the best
I know I have not treated you kindly
But it was your words that blinded me
Unknowing I took this as love
Buried it deep within me
So no one could ever see it
I choked on the blood that filled up the bathtub
From trying to drain your words out of me
Slipped while playing jump rope
Now I'm hanging
Myself
Out to dry
So my tears can be wiped away from the sunlight
And my bruised knees can get kissed from the summer breeze
You threw names , harsh slurs, and objects at me
Screaming at the top of your lungs
As if maybe you were hurting too
Drowning in your own pool of blood
Maybe in your own thoughts
But that does not give you the right to treat another human badly.
