One step forward
Two steps back
I figured
Maybe I should just go for it
Chase that dream
It was spectacular
I swear I almost touched it
Yet it slipped between my fingers
You know what stopped me?
A dark cloud
Hanging over me
A widespread
A planetary affliction
I started to hate my reflection
A great deal of shenanigans in the world I am facing
Facing the harsh truths of the world
Facing isolation
Facing violation
Being trapped with my abuser
Being cornered and unfree
Now the dream is chasing me
I have to get out of this house
I can’t stand being the victim of the house’s torment
Help!
I can’t do this by myself
I’m too weak
The contagion took everything that I had
Do you know what they think?
When they see me walking down the street
They think I am a happy girl
A fierce little girl
