My mouth hurts soooo bad! ...ugh.
Speak
Slowly sliding fingertips,
Across scabbed and broken lips
Unfamiliar, cold, dark eyes
Gently opening up my thighs
A cusping hand over my mouth
Trying, in vain, to scream and shout
Under the sheets,there comes a shuffle
But useless cries are quickly muffled
Blouse unbuttoning with strokes of a hand
Swallowing lumps of hard, rough sand
Dark, purple bruises on skinny arms,
Looking down at the marks of harm
Walking down halls, with no friends
Silently wishing life would come to an end,
With miserable thoughts of suicide,
Vivid pictures flash behind swollen eyes.
Being now, so shy, so meek,
The urge to tell someone...
But they can't speak
