you made me believe i wasn’t good enough.

choke on me.

fuck you, moms & dads.

fuck you, friends & families.

fuck you, teachers & child care workers.

fuck you, classmates & peer groups.

fuck you, bosses & mentors.

fuck you, girlfriends & boyfriends.

fuck you, strangers & neighbors.

fuck you, rapists & abusers.

fuck you, followers & leaders.

fuck you, clowns & cowards.

fuck you, gods & doctors.

fuck you, survivors & succumbers.

fuck you, ladies & gentlemen.

fuck you to the living & the dead.

you made me burn alive & stomped out every flame.

you made me scream & silenced me.

you made me run & knocked me down.

you kept me awake & lulled me to sleep.

i am the fire.

i am the voice.

i am the breath.

i am my choice.

i am my dreams.

i am my story.

i am my wire.

i am the enemy territory.

i‘m the morning dew in a rotten field.

i‘m the scar on your smooth neck.

i‘m the violence it took to become gentle.

keep my wounds,

but my blood‘s mine to spill.
