The eyes of your perpetrator
Feel like
Burning boils bursting inside
Your own eyes, what
No one should ever
See, feel, smell, taste, touch.
Urge to hurl,
Icy chills,
Floating out of body,
In body,
How you cannot curl
Up small enough,
Even though
You’ve curled up inside
Yourself as much as
You possibly can.
Covering hands over head
Wishing for a thick, solid turtle
Shell covering with
Rough edges
With sealed
Adhesive
Stuck,
Tucked in
All around.
Turtle Shell Covering
