i'm here

By Fife4

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Who is that ball on the bathroom floor? Is that you, Susie May? Your cheeks are soiled with dirt. Where have you been today? Your hair is stained red And your skin, black and blue. Tell me, Susie May, Where did he touch you? Don't cover your face. You have done nothing wrong. You must show your smile to the devil Show him that you're strong. Can you even look at me? Please. Don't turn away. Look at the sky. The sun is shining today. I know you are lost In your shame and your fear But please do remember I'm here.
