I’m wearing the burns of an assault,
My skin was set on fire,
Whilst I was drowning in the oil that was thrown on me,
And I am stilling burning,
I feel so hurt,
Can’t figure it out,
This aggression,
The insides of my heart hurt,
Something deep inside keeps calling on me to tend to,
I can’t conceptualise,
Cannot box, cannot place my emotions in a correct space,
Because this hurt keeps spilling out of me,
Raging from this tenderness in my chest
