Why'd You Do It?
March 22, 2018
Mess me up
And throw me down
Cover my mouth
So I can't make a sound
Your hands were so rough
I forced myself to be tough
The smell of you
Haunts me too
Why'd you have to do that?
I was only nine years old!
Tears on cheeks
And losing streaks
Clothes in a backpack
Self-esteem, that's what I lack
I gotta get out of here
Away from what I fear
Mess me up
And throw me down
Cover my mouth
So I can't make a sound

This is great! I feel the strength in the words. Keep writing!
This piece is about me and my experiences. I've been through a lot, and I don't know, writing is just how I express it. I don't expect many people to see this one, but I'll give it a shot.
