I am not allowed to say I don't like you
Despite every storm brought forward in waves
Like the fierce blow pointed at my forehead
Or the slamming down of everything stable in my day
I am not allowed to say you hurt me
It's embedded deep in my veins to respect
To not spit back the anger you pummeled me with
Nor break into tears because this is not the end
I am not allowed to avoid you
I drag along with a chain that keeps me in place
Listen to the number of ways I am wrong
Constant reminders that our life is frayed
I am not allowed to forget you
Biology works in awful ways
But if anything I wish I'd have a say
In how and if I should live this way.
