I remember every story

they wrote on my back.

Bruises like words tatooed

into my skin in blue and black ink.

I remember every kitchen sink

surgery where my familyhad to

stich me back together.

I remember every happily ever after

that never came to be.

We did'nt go to school

in fairy tales.

We went to school in all the gory

details of a horror story while

monsters made us victims

of their comedy.

We, the recipitants of their punch

lines they hung insults around

our necks like signs inviting

anyone to join in.

They're words were invisible ink

that they tatooed onto our skin.
