for days they tell you
‘it’s not all priests’
tell them
‘it’s not all men either’
but that doesnt stop the fear from crawling up my sisters’ throats’
tell them
‘they look for other women
when they walk into a room
like liferafts
just hoping they’ll take them to shore’
tell them.
‘everytime we get into a boat
we are expecting it to sink’
tell them.
‘we stopped chasing our dreams a long time ago
because all were left with were nightmares’
tell them.
‘we gasp for air in the middle of the night
not knowing it we’ll catch it again’
tell them.
‘not all planes crash either
but that doesn't take away the fear’
tell them.
tell them
tell them you’re speaking
tell them
you’re here.
