Here I put my writing and stuff. Yay. OK

"EAGER TO PLEASE"

The facts will do.

Stories are for children.

"..."

"No."

"No what?"

I was losing my nerve,

sweat rolling down the back of my neck.

I wasn't sure how to dress.

My mouth is dry,

the fan just stirs up dust and

I could smell it rising in the air.

I hardly blink at the images on the screen.

I followed along,

trying to look like I knew the score.

trauma erotica

(a collaged poem)

+

One deep breath, in and out.

+

Who am I? Who does this kind of thing?

"Look at me."

"Use your words."

+

butterflies goes batshit inside me

+

Don't scream. Do. Not Scream.

+

kneeling on the floor

I become a husk of myself, obscene mannequin

This is what it feels like to step outside of yourself.

+

It's overwhelming, like knives, a deep purple keeping her trapped, helpless

stop her from inhabiting her new female form

+

A woman, not old, not young

+

Her own name, her own time.

Her own body to do with as she wishes.

Her own mind.

+

unfair to have her dreams dashed so young.

as we pulse and twitch

+

The pain I feel at first swirls, shifts, and transforms

+

voice is muffled through the thick wood.

+

shame, in front of a witness, tousled and trembling

+

from being watched. tongue tasting the empty space

up her neck like a strangling vine.

+

To the left the vast bed waited

+

grab me

pin me

dissect me,

+

unwilling to stop touching

ripped apart sinewy flesh.

+

"I'm fucking filthy."

+

The script has served me so well for so long.

+

Who cares? Me. I used to care so much.

+

I used to be too much.

I need external pain

I hardly know who I am

She closed her eyes, lifted my shirt, and

+

allowed her hands inside me.

+

pressed meat into the machine

quiet and terrified.

+

My head is spinning, almost like with vertigo.

+

The room is almost silent.

+

people come with razor-sharp teeth

+

They feed on each other, the sensation of the trade.

+

But as I let this stranger grind me

move around me, drinking me in

I still refuse to look at myself.

my breath saws in and out of my lungs.

+

weight pinning me to the mattress.

+

flesh against flesh.

a sob and a moan.

+

knocking against my sternum like a hammer

so hard, so fast, the echo of it nearly deafens me

+

Every part of me pulsated to the wild rhythm

+

A stark and horrifying testimony etched into my flesh.

+

Sense memory crashes into me out of nowhere.

There on the ground was a backpack and a girl attached to it.

+

She smiles, but her palms are still damp

+

I'm not that girl anymore.

I was a broken thing...

Another being.

+

Her daytime masturbation was, in part, about desire.

+

"Is that why you're looking at it on the Internet?"

"Not another word."

+

tainting the desire is despair.

+

it's like I'm transforming into another person.

I close my eyes and imagine this person into being.

+

mapwork of traumatized flesh

savoring its little squeak of protest,

+

I love my life. I love my family.
