He tried to lock me up in that cold, dark closet. He stood behind me, watching me type this. He drilled holes in the back of my head. He shoved me, eschewed me, shunned me. He killed my baby.

He demanded payment for the rent. He slapped away my tears. He beat away my self-esteem. He held me in submission. He never let me forget.

I tried to lock myself up in that cold, dark closet. I stood behind myself, watching myself type this. I drilled holes in the back of my head. I shoved myself, eschewed myself, shunned myself. I killed my baby. I killed my baby and didn't think it was enough. I punished myself. I drove pangs of pain into myself. I forced myself to pretend. I avenged my womanhood when I pretended too well. I owned my property. I demanded payment for the rent. I slapped away my tears. I beat away my self-esteem. I held myself in submission. I never let myself forget.
