My past was pried open violently,
Petals of an unopened bud
By insecure male hands
which tore out long hidden memories
in gushes of disgust mixed with relief
in that night of separation and togetherness.
"All of one's life is a struggle towards that; the narrow path between freedom and belonging. I have sometimes sacrificed freedom in order to belong, but more often I have given up all hope of belonging." Jeanette Winterson

this poem is very disturbing. here there is no hope at all. you are so passive here, like a classic victim. cannot take me/you like that...
