"And though she be but little, she is fierce."- Shakespeare


They say I'm a survivor

Someone else...

Not brave

Not courageous

Not strong

If they knew the true story

That's what they'd say

Telling stories

There's a secret within the mind

I still cut

Night calls like an owl, demanding my attention

Pulling me into memories

Visibly ripping skin from skin

All real once more

Until a peace settles over me

And I cry

Because I remember

The pain cutting brings

Because I feel it now

Because you can't read my heart

And know

I am not a survivor
