These limbs don’t fit.
Doll parts inside me.
Small and rigid,
Choking hazards.
Plastic not flesh,
Hollow and bloodless.
Cold and unfeeling,
Attached to the rest of me.
Porcelain fragility,
Painted smile.
Detachable, removable,
I don’t feel the loss.

Girls (poem)
PoetryA screaming corpse,
Persistent aches,
Dead little girls who exist inside me.
Voiceless gasps,
Writhing ghosts,
Raped at birth.
Death before life.
Dominated, subjugated,
Tortured and used.
The girls are dust now.
From the ashes, I’ll haunt you.
Fear of the Dark (poem)
PoetryWhen things get still,
Your heartbeat races.
A peaceful evening,
But not for you.
Work all day,
Fear at night.
Exhaustion creeps,
But your eyes stay open.
Your body stays rigid,
The glow of the light,
Grows steadily wider,
Until a figure blocks its entrance.
Pretend you’re asleep.
The creature senses movement.
Breath flutters your hair.
Its stench fills your lungs.
If it wants you, it’s over.
The monster always wins.
No guardian to protect you,
From all that stalk the night.
In the sunlight,
Your father.
In the moonlight,
Your terror.
Puke (poem)
PoetryI’m sick again.
I need to throw up.
Vomit you out of me.
Fingers in my throat,
Slimy spit down my arm,
Press and purge.
I won’t let these seeds take root,
Corrupting my soil.
I cast out everything you put in me,
The taint on my soul.
Hushed (poem)
PoetryNot a word out of you,
Your voice is annoying.
Nothing to hear,
Means nothing to say.
Stop asking questions,
Accept it as-is.
No say whatsoever,
Flow with the madness.
When he hurts you,
Be silent.
So we can blame you,
For not speaking up.
Submit (poem)
PoetrySink in my teeth,
Dig in my nails,
Struggle harder.
But he’s too big.
Kick your feet,
Wiggle out of his arms,
It’s over.
He’s holding your head down.
Don’t look.
Don’t feel.
Don’t live.
Just die.
Get You (poem)
PoetryI’m gonna.
No escape.
Don’t run.
Stay here.
Get away.
Not now.
Please don’t.
Leave me.
Dodge away.
Which direction?
Lecherous eyes,
Guised deception.
Take a chance.
Leap forward.
Give it all you got.
Don’t let him get you.
Tummy Hurts (poem)
PoetryShe wobbles when she walks,
Dazed out of her mind.
Her eyes unfocused,
Blurry vision distorts.
Tears silently leak,
Breath caught in her throat.
Hair obscuring her face,
So it won’t choke her again.
A sniffle escapes,
The rips inside her inflame.
Without understanding what happened,
Simple words: “Tummy hurts.”
Don’t Frown (poem)
PoetryHis figure towers.
His anger cowers.
My pain, it flowers.
My face, it glowers.
***
Uh oh. Now I’m gonna get it.
Door (poem)
PoetryBefore her, a door
A gateway to hell
Guarded by a demon
Who smiles like an angel
No saints live here
A guardian delivers
Takeaway treat
With a side of sweet innocence
Corrupted in an instant
Tainted by poison
Tragedy lives in the cowardice
Of the feeble and evil
