is it ever gonna be enough

[mercuriazs]

I have not been able to fall asleep.

Hence, first poem in months. For those of you who weren't aware that La Casa de Merc is currently a 24/7 rape crisis center, warnings for themes of sexual violence/sexual assault do apply. I wouldn't call anything under the cut graphic, per se, but the metaphor isn't prettifying.

It is incredibly depressing how true this poem is; but these are good words and I think the right ones.

[mercuriazs]

the right words are allll I could ever want. well. except for dudes to not abuse my friends.

That is really, really great. Would you mind if I linked it?

Wow, this is a powerful poem.

The math metaphor is a stark and good way to talk about how very messed up rape is.

Thanks for reading ma'am <3

1) this is painful but beautiful, and honest, which is something you are very very good at.
2) I'm glad you're feeling better, and I hope your friend/s is/are doing all right, as far as that term can go. that's an awful situation. :(
3) I think I want to write a poem in response, is that okay?

[mercuriazs]

thank you lady. it's kind of hard to say right now, but I at least feel that I'm doing all I can and all that's mine to do.

very little would make me happier than if you were to write a poem in response. :D
