no edit no regret just Write

When God said

"Let there be light"

He began to twist his fingers and created what became

You

There you are

Standing in the hallway

I can see your shadow under the door

You're not moving

Making sure I'm not moving

But Teacher,

Where would I go?

You have sayings of truth

And outside my door my hallway is only

Whispers

Eyes gleaming with unsaid gossip

People waiting for the right moment to

SCREAM

I saw you

I saw you in the backseat

Sweaty slimy slut

I dare you to deny it

Pics or it didn't happen

When God said

"Let there be light"

The switch in my room was flipped

My stomach soon followed

I swallowed the blood and bile

He hits harder when he's

Drunk,

Of course

Your room's not clean?

50

Your hair is frizzy after a sleepless night?

50

You left the light in the garage on?

50

Oh would you

Stop crying. I didn't raise you like that

I beg your pardon,

Dearest father

Behind the confession curtain

Please let me explain

I screwed up but if I do one more push up

I think my arms will collapse

And I'll fall and fall so far down into a great big

Nothing

I can't be nothing

Nothing isn't good enough

Where will I be if I am not

When God said

"Let there be light"

You better believe

I punched that fat thot in her big ugly face.

Don't you EVER

TOUCH

MY LITTLE SISTER

AGAIN

OR I SWEAR TO YOU

I'LL MESS YOUR FACE UP SO BAD

YOUR MOTHER WON'T RECOGNIZE YOU

She cried

I hit

I bit her arms

I pulled her hair

I clawed at her eyes

I called her ugly

I called her stupid

Being the bully

Felt amazing

Even in the principal's office

On the phone with mother dearest

Unapologetic Unapologetic

Are you kidding me? I'd love to do it all over again.

Let me hit her again.

Please.

I want to do it again

I said

Let there be violence

When God said

"Let there be light"

He pushed me up against the car door

I let him put his tongue in my mouth

I let him touch me

I let him think I loved him

I led him on

And when they found him in his bathroom

Crimson water running in the tub

Open wrists

I knew it was my fault

Because I finally told him I lied

I lied

Every time

I lied

And I lied because I knew

He wasn't ready for the truth

It did not set him free

Oh no

It set him off

When God said

"Let there be light"

I cried for hours

Wrote you letters

(I burned them all)

Pretended to not care

(Of course I did)

Let myself go

(I pined for you)

Ignored you in public

(I wanted nothing more than to be next to you)

Ignored your phone calls

(I listened to every voicemail)

Because I knew

(Of course I knew)

You weren't real

(That person was never you)

Here I am

(Alone)

Where are you?

(Are you awake too?)

Not real.

(I should just forget it)

Nothing we never had was real

(Because we had a lot of nothing)

What a comfort to me that is

(You never broke my heart)

Because you weren't real at all

(What a comfort to me that is)

When God said

"Let there be light"

You're still standing in the hallway

You're still drunk

I'm still enjoying breaking your face

Your tongue is still in my throat

And you still don't exist

Oh God

Teacher,

Where can I go?

You have sayings of truth

And I am not worthy

I can't handle the truth

No

The light is coming but God

I can't

I won't make it

I just need more time

I'm filthy I'm violent I'm a killer I'm exhausted I'm a whore

But I can change

Please dear God.

Just hold back the light.

For just a moment.
