scraped knees , silent tears in a locked room , slamming doors , pervasive loneliness , a dog barking , rain on a metal roof , flinching at movement , the creak of an old house , forced laughter , wandering in the dark woods , wondering how you made it through , sudden loss , trying to make sense of the noise , hiding what you love to protect it , trying to explain but your words falter , invaded privacy , confusion at the pain , running barefoot in the grass , wondering what you did wrong and coming up with nothing , realizing you aren’t a priority , grass stains on white clothing , trying to earn love you will never have , being threatened over the smallest mistake , secrets you are warned not to share , the feeling of never being good enough , the hope things might someday get better , grief that aches in your bones , childish dares and pranks , the sense that your body isn’t yours , shame and guilt that aren’t yours to carry , sledding down a frozen hill , absentmindedly following snakes through the grass , punching a tree until your knuckles bleed , tears over every dead creature you find , searching out small places you can hide … just in case , climbing the tallest tree so they can’t touch you , the feeling of something tainted under your skin , a curious child told to stop asking , floral dresses , body tensing at approaching footsteps , anger with nowhere to go , brief escapes from the chaos , the purr of a contented cat , taking the blame to keep the peace , being told you’re too sensitive , the creaking springs of a trampoline on a sunny day
