Black heart

9 0 0
                                    

Black eyes
And bloody noses
Bruises cascade on our knuckles
And our throats burn from screaming

My chest hurts from breathing
But my heart remains beating

I will never stop smiling

I will never stop going

I will not break

I'm an overcomer

She punched him in the face

What a horrible mom

She threw a cup at her

What a horrible mom

She screamed because I didn't talk to her

And I wonder why not?
