I wish you would just stop talking for one second
Stop screaming for one minute, stop crying for 1 hour.
I want to tell you the truth, I want you to know the truth.
I wish he would just not scare me like he does
Get so drunk, move so close, put his hand over my mouth.
I wish I could just scream a little louder, cry when it hurts,
Not fight back, just keep myself safe.
I wish she would just stop asking me what is wrong.
Most of all I wish you would just listen and tell me:
You don't need to fuck them to feel beautiful.

Very intense. If it is personal, which I think it is, I'm sorry for you =[. It was a very good write, flowed very nicely.
Good luck in this contest.

Oh wow this is really powerful. But I'm a little confused. Is it about a father figure? Or a male friend? Either way this is really good. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck!!!
