reliving nightmares

Linds M. Crate

it’s sad
one little thing
years ago
could follow me so long,
but what you did
wasn’t something i could
just forget;
when you saw my face
you could’ve just walked by yet you
had to plant yourself back in my life
with that smug little smirk
i wish i could just go back in time
with the strength i have now
just punch it straight off your lips
because you are “a foul loathsome little cockroach”
as a heroine from one of my favorite books
would say—
i know it’s just my word
against yours,
and the sad thing is they’d believe you
because you’re a man
and i’m a woman
apparently all we can do is lie and accuse people
it’s a sick world that we live in
where people like you are heroes and people like me
are forced to relive our nightmares every single day.
