Evicted Faith.

By Lux

I screamed into the void,
broken and choking on the trust,
decrypting your secrets - only
this time, the void screamed back
darkness rising to throw me
from the only santuary I have left

and told me to run.

dawn approaches
and girls from the wayward winds
don't last long on seas unstable
the sickness wells deep enough
and you pitch over the side;

months of working, striving
earning the confidences
you share

only to awaken to another cage
with new locks
and no keys.

    My youth was very much what you describe here and everything happens so fast and just kept going and I never told anybody. Even the perpetrators didn't know my story because you don't exist when they don't see you. They didn't even realize I went to 28 schools growing up

    But then when I figured out that I asked for it and make contracts. I found the only thing hiding what was going to change a tragedy and turn it into a hero's journey. I just wasn't asking the right question.
