[ Featuring Led to the Woods ]
Maternal abuse and cower
Executed upon his cheek
Broken wooden spoons welting
Thrashed onto his legs, face and back
Violating, pretty hands stifle dreams
Fraternal abuse and power
Executed upon the weak
Impaled black flies twitching
Squashed into my ears, nose and mouth
Suffocating, salty hands muffle screams
Internal truce and flower
Absolution, not critique
Forgiving those who harmed me
Protected by my strength, mind and heart
Comforting, warm hands foster esteem
