Sarah,
born into sensitivity,
born into innocence,
ignorance, and hypocrisy.

"Sarah,
you can do anything.
Sarah,
go for what you need.
Sarah,
work for what you want."

Sarah,
grows into tact,
grows into opinion,
socializing, and acts.

"Sarah,
you're pretty; quiet.
Sarah,
you're quietly angry.
Sarah,
sing us something."

Sarah,
lives in a journal,
lives in a dream,
selfishly selfless.

"Sarah,
quit daydreaming.
Sarah,
wake up on time.
Sarah,
learn to share."

Sarah,
falls in love easily,
falls into relationships,
stumbling strongly.

"Sarah,
I love you.
Sarah,
you're all mine.
Sarah,
it only hurts when you let it."

Sarah,
raped by curiosity,
raped emotionally,
blood on the bed;

blood on the bed.

Sarah,
raped by noise,
raped mentally,
fifteen again;

fifteen again.

Sarah,
hides in the dark,
hides her heart,
throbbing unstarts.

"Sarah,
I won't hurt you.
Sarah,
I won't lie.
Sarah,
I promise."

Sarah,
hurt by a lie,
hurt by a promise,
promises lie.

Promises lie.

Sarah,
bled clean,
bled dry,
bled on the bed;

blood on the bed.

Sarah,
wonders what now,
wonders what next,
blood on the bed?
Promises lie.

Sarah,
fifteen again,
fifteen bled clean.


Blood has long dried,
promises tuned out-
promises lie.

And Sarah is still alive.
