Split lips,
broken bones,
cracked ribs
and a warning.
Pain pills,
alcohol
forced sex.
Life.
Sexual deviancy
( at it's best )
memories of life spiraling.
( Sometimes it's best to keep
your mouth shut)
Will this ever stop?
( Too afraid to leave)
Will the next time this happens?
( I'm gonna die)
I walk a fine line
between being ok
and ready to jump...
I'm not sure about
my next move.
I'm a shadow
in the world.

It's very simple and to the point. Sometimes the most hard hitting poems are simple.
