"Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as real strength."

Unnamed.

Written in 2004, I was aged 13.

It's got to be true-
-it's written in all the stories.
Maybe written only to make you feel smitten..
..maybe a lie, like hands held loose

Oh, if you'll only listen carefully in the night
"Read between the lines, honey" -
- Shut up. "BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER."

How do you sleep at night?
After seeing the look in the eyes of your own daughter?

"Happy families" it's what they all say,
and yet you get to carry on living like it's any other day.
How do you feel when you touch her?
I think it's better when I do..

You hate the world today
Everyone you loved always broken or torn away
Did you not expect this?
It's not all HAPPY FAMILIES
Poetic love, sealed, within that 'caring' kiss

You pulled out your razor today.
Blunt, rusty, bloodstained from years hidden away
How does he sleep at night?

Falling like paper from a mountain top
Slowly slicing through skin, like the sky
Sex means more than family..
