Wounds

She spends most of her time behind close doors, accessing wrestling with her inner being, She spends most of her time, in a safe zone as the world is the reason she is scarred, Scars she wears proudly when approached, scars she is not afraid of displaying when given the opportunity, See, sometimes these scars…

Thief

She chose to trust, something so natural turned into a hustle She chose to hush, not to make you feel uncomfortable, not to make a fuss You are so comfortable forgetting the part you played shaping her insecurities You are so comfortable, pretending to live your truth, yes because you chose to drop her like…
