The Body Under The Stairs

lavenderlover

The body under the stairs

where no one can stare

where no one can glare

 

The body under the stairs

shaking, crying

desperate for a hug

or for anyone to realize that they aren't okay

 

but no one cares

no one even stares 

when she emerges

a shattered, broken mess

 

the body no longer under the stairs 

wishes someone would help

wishes they would stare

wished they cared

 

but the sooner she sees how cruel this world really is 

will it push her off the edge?

  • Comment from author about the poem: So I wrote this about a week ago during an episode. I'm doing much better right now just in case anyone was wondering :). An arrest has been made in a case agaist my abusers and there are three more arrests to be happening. Wish me luck as these next few weeks are going to be rough but I will not break
