Lessons
I learned to fear
and navigate through
terror and violence
I learned to not trust
adults and not believe
they'd all keep me safe
I learned to walk on egg
shells around the twisted
minds my kin battled with
I learned to read well
the mood in a room to
avoid running into harm
I learned to erase myself
so to attract the least
attention in my direction
I learned to be quiet
'cause no one could do
anything anyway
I learned very early
that I wasn't important
to anyone; I didn't matter
I learned to destroy myself
'cause I believed as much
in my worth as they did
I learned to live dead
and away from anything
resembling who I am
In the end though,
I learned to climb out
of the pits of despair
and to stand before you
I learned the words,
how to fend off the pull,
and found I can walk
I learned there's more
to me than what's been
attempted to make of me
I learned it was all wrong
and out of my hands; the guilt
should've never been mine
