i've had beating when i was a child.
as if i was meant to never make a mistakeㅡ
and i can't count the beatings I'd take
for all the things i had defied.
that whenever i close my eyes,
i sometimes still hear the whip of my father's belt
marking on my flesh,
the bruises; the scratchesㅡ
it had been long since gone and healed,
but the feeling it gave never left me until now
the memory still sends me into tears somehow;

nightmares
