I Am DiamondsA Poem by PepperA poem about sexual abuse, for a contest. Break the silence, my friends.
Sticks and stones break my bones
But your hands are what have hurt me. You have taken all that I own From physical to figurative, You have taken my sanity You stole my happiness when you made Contact. But no longer can you destroy me. You have oppressed, compressed me so That I have become unbreakable. Diamonds are a girl's best friend And I am my own diamond. I am unbreakable Unscratchable Untouchable. I belong on pedestals, In prized artifacts, And not in your hands. I am my own diamond. I am valuable Treasured Loved. © 2016 Pepper |
