You Don’t Know Me

You don’t know me. I am not ok.

I said no

It happened anyway

So, I threw up my hands

Because life makes no mistakes

Robbed of an innocence

That I could never get back

A two minute incident

Threw my whole life off track

You see me with him, him, and her

You put labels on my back

You call me a whore

Cutting me no slack

I lost my identity

My soul was taken away

I was left in the streets like a dead animal

To rot and decay

Be careful who you trust

Be leery of where you stay

Don’t be quick to judge a person

You don’t know their mental disarray

To Rise Above It All ☀️

“If you want peace, prepare for war.”
& then I saw the sun rise
I remembered that I rose high above the clouds
It was my mind
My memories
My past that kept me bound
Dreams sifted as wheat
That’s when heaven opened up to me
I began to walk a straight line
Balancing life
Enjoying all that’s good and sweet
Made myself a priority
To drown out the loud cries,
The lies,
The signs
Now I have clarity
I saw the sun surrounded by beautiful clouds
& there I stood
Still living
Still breathing
Another chance to make it right
Another chance to live my life.

Burning Flame 🔥

You captured my soul Now, you’ll never leave me Because I could never forget you

I presumed I was alive until you resurrected me. Walking amongst the living dead until you set me free. Set a fire in my soul. Now, you’ll never leave.. & I will never forget you.

He touched a part of me that I didn’t know existed. He showed me a new life that I had been missing. I’ll never forget him because he’ll never release me. We’re connected forever. I am he.

Cold-Blooded

I drown in your love

Suffocating with misery

Scissored with words

To live, I no longer have the ability

You took away my life. My happiness, you banned. You murdered me in cold-blood although it wasn’t planned. Maybe you didn’t anticipate the breaking of my flesh, but you left me alone when you were all that I had left.

You placed the blade in my hand. XO 🖤💔
