Like a can opener You have ripped yourself open With each wild twist Of your wrist The wound is gaping now And your lid just dangles But my neck is the one  That bleeds It’s not as if you can just leave We are braided Woven together over The past 19 years When the man You had children with Leaves the country To sell fruit  From a cart  On the side of the road Instead of staying here with them It’s hard not to internalize that I can’t count the amount of times I have lost myself to you  I was never any good at math You will likely never even read this  But I know you will be lying still Until you are lying still Peace will be your death This is what you chase All I want is a nap My only peace is sleep

What does it feel like to leave the country and your family behind? What do you think about on that 12 hour plane ride? Do you fantasize about opening up the emergency exit door and hurling yourself into the Atlantic? What kind of drugs must you have pumping in your veins to make you abandon your entire life? Is it easy to just walk away from your restaurant, leaving the teenagers waiting outside wondering where their boss went?

Apparently, Bill Cosby doesn't like it if you call him a bug eyed piece of shit rapist on all of his Instagram posts. He will block you for it. He can't block me from talking about him on my own time and isn't that one of the things that's great about America? Now let me tell you why it is not.  I grew up watching the Cosby Show. This man was a wholesome father figure for millions of people during the eighties. He was also a sexual predator. He admitted to using his power and fame to manipulate women. In his own testimony, he admitted to the use of sedatives to enhance his sexcapades. Why would a man with that much fame and money need to drug women to get what he wanted from them? Because he is a twisted fuck of a human being. And he is, by far, not the only one. But he was convicted and it looked like maybe women could finally have a win. Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein both ended up where they belonged. Maybe women were going to start being listened to and believ...
