When the Instincts Kick In

a sexist scandal 
a single feeling
of sobering sickliness 
a shriek 
a stranger springs onto me
skin slides across skin 
scraping and scratching 
struggling and screaming 
nobody comes to save me 

a shard of slippery glass
snatched in a split decision 
a slash
scarlet splatter spews along the silent street 
the struggle subsides 
moral costs of survival 
have never seemed so selfish

Beata Agustin Date: 1/11/2024 11:24:00 PM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
