“You don’t tell anyone about how last week

you cheated on your boyfriend of almost 6 years

because he ignored you for an entire three weeks

and made you feel like a chore rather than a desire.

You want to tell your sister, your cousin,

even your mother, but you know that they would

dismiss your reason as an excuse

and remind you of the selfishness behind

your need for attention, like wanting to be

loved by someone who swore to always

put you first is a bad thing.

You already know you have no one

to blame but yourself, so to know

that everyone who matters most also thinks

your actions are unforgivable

just makes you scrub your skin harder.”
