I.
I enter
my formative stage
growing pain,
as I lay face down
the Earth,
pushing back
hands of a troubled
mind, holding me
down.
II.
It’s something of
his pleasure,
my mercy-
an increasing loss
of hope,
shattering as
my spine

I was an innocent little girl
Everyday I wanted to hurl
Back in my middle school days
I was in a crazy maze
Didn’t know Where to turn
So many damn obstacles
that came my way
I was scared and lost
I kept getting stuck
No one gave a fuck
Bitches starting fights
didn’t stand up for my rights
I didnt know what to...

And the faces of the jesters,
Who took your health for granted.
Who took your innocence in vain.
You'll remember what they said,
And the tone that they used.
You'll remember their laughter and their smirks.

Bite’s worse than your bark
It was your rite of passage
It was my permanent reminder
Pride struck right out my jaw
A gap was made inside me
Tears obscured me from your guise
Mouth masked with blood
Left canine tooth gone
Helpless prey, to be cannibalized
Teeth sank bone deep
My flesh then the meat
Stripped away from me
