Never Thought It Could Be Me
I never thought it could be me;
My heart dropped, I couldn't breath
Everything froze, I could hear voices from a distanceI fell down five feet where only my thoughts -regrets and shame haunted me more than the thought it was me
I promised myself as a little girl, grow up and always take care of yourself
Was so blameless, it seemed attainable for a girl that was driven by goals
Or was it stubbornness that I had to be better
Abounded at 2, I promised myself I will never need my oppressors
That I will never confirm their vile thoughts against me
That I had the willpower to write my own story
Now years later all I have is tears of regret,
replaying scenarios of how I could have done it better.
The next thing I remember I was gasping for air as if my life depended on it
My sheets drenched in a pool of sweat, my crooked lips parted with a shout for help
That's when I realised it was only a dream
I promised myself this particular dream I will never make it come to true.
