A Hundred Things I Wish I'D Said

You are more than what they said….
Savage beasts feed on your dread
Escape before your heart crumbles,
There is no picking up the rumble.
In time, your mind becomes jumbled
You are more than what they made you feel….
This body is yours their hands do not belong.
Eat from the corners, what a waste, 
you’re still thrown away.
You are more than what you think…
Forgive the darkness that hangs like a badge
Forgive this body, which dangles on the edge
find you, which once was missing.
You are enough, 
Is what I’d wish I’d said
