‘What the person is experiencing’

‘What the person hopes to experience’

‘Innocence’

In the still of the night, when all are asleep

Innocence is taken for another to keep

My life was an ‘evil routine’

Dirty feelings – I’m not squeaky clean

 

My reflection – “Who are you?”

My body – “Who does it belong to?”

These scars, these feelings 

I can’t undo

 

Scrub my body to wash history away

Erase the pain of a memory I live everyday

“DON’T YOU DARE TELL A SOUL!” repeated in my head

Can’t close my eyes when I’m lying in bed

 

The cracks open up in my protective wall

I’m sinking deeper, I watch myself fall

Till I’m submerged in my demons embrace

What a stigma, what a disgrace

 

Silver linings are found in dark clouds on the way

I know my rainbow’s end will come one day

In any form it chooses to show

When it does, I will know

 

Acknowledge the pain, 

Appreciate the rain

Feel the water on your skin

Let it heal you, let it in

 

Take a deep breath, slow down

This is the world –  look around

Relief is what I’m longing for, to feel alive

Through my pain I develop, and in life I thrive.
