The Hands
Fire on skin
screaming flesh
crawling filth
The hands
clamped over mouth
eyes focused in the dark
talking silently to myself
praying for forgiveness
lying in shame
The hands
held down
each heavy limb
paralyzed with fear
gasping for breath
The hands
frantic fury
burning with rage
my soul
buried alive
A little girl
hiding inside
forever remembering
The hands

a powerful and emotional poem.
This is so powerful and startling. This image especially:
The hands
clamped over mouth
eyes focused in the dark
talking silently to myself
praying for forgiveness
lying in shame
My heart breaks for you. I'm so sorry you had to experience such brutality. You didn't deserve that awful cruelty at all.
All my love <3
