Never Again

January 14, 2018

That fear which creeps on the back of your neck.
Slide to the side to protect those close.
Making itself known at inopportune times.
Keeping you still, you can not move.
Never again, never again.
Never again, never again

Judgment coming from the left and right.
False words, they fade with each breath.
Stories of others, but none from you.
Keep it to yourself, you don’t know.
Shedding the care bodies push near you.
Looking for a reaction and a rise.
Towering over I stand, mouthing ‘fuck you too’

Never again, never again.
Never again, never again.
It’s been lived through

Never again.
It’s all done.
Never again.
It’s the past.
Never again
