The choppin block

“The world did know and remained silent”
Her fingers curled
And let go
Stay silent
The knife swirled silently
To make it seem like she's alone
But that's a
Goddamn lie
Cause she's in love with the idea that the world didn't know
Its throat stayed closed
Thinking she was safe at home
In her bed of fresh corpses
Underminded and exploited
Not important
But it's okay because she will never be expected
To act sane
To close her eyes and escape
The pain
The pain that will never be the same
And no she's not okay
Her grandmother
her head rest
And her sister her sheets
“Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere”
Safe havens
Covered in manageable stress
With irritable spells
Explosive outbursts
Tolerated It's to be expected
Cause it normal
Let's make this shit normal
Adjust back to a society that turned its back
They feel bad
THEY FEEL BAD
A two second thought
Was a 12 year nightmare
Undress that a full life
Another goddamn lie
“Dozens of starving men fought desperately over a few crumbs. The worker watched the spectacle with great interest”
Her cheeks flushed a slight blush
From this mornings punishment
A slap of unjust as she's stolen from her pink plush sheets
Taken and wrapped in moldy rose petals
Softly
Shhhhhhh
You've seen nothing
You hear nothing
Your alone
But now you should know that's not true
Cause believing in
The american people i like believing in superheroes
“To many sons and daughters have shed too much blood. This must stop, and all attempts to stop it must be encouraged”
She closed her eyes
They told her she was not alone
But that was another goddamn lie
