Showing Skin (MAJOR TW for SA)
I shudder
As my mouth becomes dry
While my stomach
Twists and churns.
My own skin is unsafe to me,
For it could result
In horrible,
Unwanted things.
You don’t want
To go there,
Not where I was
In my younger days.
You don’t want to know
Because I can't live a day
Without the fear of a male victory
Over me and my body
Following me wherever I go.
