Hush — Nicole Hart

Sometimes, we're taught to hide our truth.
We're led to believe it's our own fault.
As if somehow, we should protect the evil that was unleashed upon us.
We're convinced that the punishment will swallow us whole.
But maybe, the only way to let go of the fear, is to expose the devil.
Look him in the eyes and give him the F*ck You that he's always deserved.

Darkness surrounds me.
Flames engulf me.
Born from the ashes.
Like the phoenix,
I will rise.
