daisy chains and
playground games
oh
how people miss childhood
not me
because the only chains
in my childhood
were around my neck
dragging me across the floor
the only swings that I received
were from a punch
a whole
lifetime of sore
until one day i couldn't take it
anymore
i picked up that knife
and stared at the point
wondering what it was
why it was there
the point of the point
and i still remember to this day
the dilated pupils of
six year old me
when she realised that
the point was to cause pain
and i remember
how close she was to
shovelling her guts out
before they could shovel her
into the ground
