Assault,

A scary thing

A thing you cant get over

Like a broken heart or betrayal

It will never fail

It shows up at the last minute when you finally think your about to win it

When you finally think someone can fix it

They break your heart little bit by little bit and expect you not to have a fit

They threaten to kill you

So keeping your mouth shut is exactly what you so

Your scared to tell your parents because you know they wont believe you

So suffering in science is all you can do

sad poetry

About the Creator

ALEXIS Harris

My name is Alexis. I’m 16 and striving to be a poet. After being locked up for 7 months, I learned to face my emotions instead of hiding them. Poetry became my voice, my healing, and my way to grow. Writing turned my pain into purpose.
