I fear that I am seen as manipulative, And that the moment I express a need, You’ll observe my pain and turn to leave. Because that is the reality of how I lived. For years, I was told to remain oblivious To all the lies, the torment of loving eyes, As the fog softly lifts, revealing a monster Beneath the exterior beauty of who she is.

The Unspoken Thorns

The stars still shine brightly Through each day I breathe, Taking in the nuanced shades Of my life with chronic PTSD.

It took years to softly erase scars etched onto my psyche, Which had painfully reflected A sociopath's tormented gaze That never belonged to me.

Music comforted my broken soul, Through the nights I slept all alone, Walking through the bluegrass fog, Beside lukewarm falls that cascade Over a body he'll never again violate. I left with nothing but love and faith For the woman I prayed would heal In the silent echoes nature revealed.

You can preach and grandstand in a love, that never fully committed to choosing me. Looking at others through a pretentious lens, I refuse to have my modesty devalued within. If standing beside you means abandoning me, I'll choose to be alone, devoted to spirituality.

In the moments I feel weak, I dissolve through the layers, Of all my deepest adversities. Where I felt immensely loved, Even in moments I was alone, Laying in bed beside my grief.
