SC. Crews Poems

Can't you just acknowledge me?
As a person?
As your daughter!
Why am I so invisible to the world.
...

On the concrete floor.
I had no control.
It was freezing.
Stripped.
...

I must keep going.
I cannot give up.
Dreading each step of the path I walk
I can't breathe
...

Where will I run...
I cannot escape this darkness
The constant screaming
The punches and scratches
...

The lion rips apart her next victim
Tearing apart lives and families
She prowls around her cage
1 2 3 attack
...

I don't understand who I am anymore.
I've changed progressively,
And then I fall again.
I'm hidden beneath the metal,
...

The trees fell
As the writer carved their beauty
In a twisted red ink
They laid in the ground
...

Slipping through my hands
The old man's hourglass
Barely able to hold on
Shaking
...

Tears froze to her face,
The world was weighted down by snow,
Frost sticken,
And empty stomached,
...

Falling down the rabbit hole,
My mind is stuck in a pit of despair.
I cannot escape.
Drowning in the seas of life,
...
