And just like that…..Independent

T began school today. First time since 2013 that I have not taken him. It was bittersweet for me and I cried.

Saw this on Facebook today and realized that it was something that I needed to read. Am going to leave it here for anyone else who needs to hear it read it.

Untitled Dark Poem #8

Staining darkness

wraiths

shades scream

dancing

following

worrying strands of hair

plucking loose clothing

distraction

my familiars

bound unto me

in death

as they bound me

in hatred

in chains

in loss of innocence.

Bathed in blood

wine red

dripping from childish nipples

howls

sacrificed

upon dais of entitlement

whilst

devil’s kin

dance

whirling

shrieking

in devout sickness

to masters unseen.

I grew

shadowed eyes

knives for nails

seeking

those who tore

asunder my life

my virginity

my innocence

until I called upon their own dark masters

and vengeance shall be mine.
