They told me to gouge out my own eyes 

so I wouldn't be able to see the blinding truth 

of what was right in front of me 


They told me to sow my own mouth shut 

because I wasn't allowed to speak differently 

from anyone else, even when they knew I was right 


They told me to rip off my own arms 

so I wouldn't be able to defend myself 

from the ones who kept starting fights 


They told me to saw off my own legs 

so I wouldn't be able to walk away 

from the ones who kept holding me down 


They always told me to hurt myself 

so they wouldn't have to take responsibility 

for holding the culprits accountable
