Hannah's Poem
Put down the blades
Close your eyes
Open your ears
Experience the silence
Hear the limitless words that shakily escape my lips
Shake off the hate that you feel linger through the halls
Close your ears
Feel your safety from the ignorance
I hear my words hit the surface of the space
between us
Do they mean anything?
You’re too beautiful to feel such pain
The scars you hide are battle wounds
Bravery shifts itself into a shield, but it weakens everyday
The silent rush fills you. It surrounds you, and it takes over
You’re fading into the darkness
I reach for you to pull you to safety
The words reluctantly whisper themselves from your lips
Targeted directly
They hit like a ton of bricks
Recovery Starts
I reach for you and pull you to safety
I believe in you
