Bleeding physically, emotionally, psychologically
Bleeding from that rape, from that abusive relationship,
From that abusive marriage, from that prison experience
From what they did that I cannot speak up about
How can I? they pressed my mouth down.
Society pressed my mouth shut.
And so here I was losing blood day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.
I saw the best Doctors, went to the best hospitals
