Re-write
December 5, 2014
the scars leave ridges
scar tissue
everyone can see
and yet i can hide them
startlingly easily
its been easy to fool them
and escape from the
prison they try to force me into
my punishment seeing their mouths move
and “constructively” critique
my
existence
the chains they bind me in
a mix of slithery, rotten, overused words
and ropes of insecurity
knowing what it is makes it worse
because it is then that
i can know something
and
painfully refuse it
with my head shaking yes
to really know it
