She remembered those words so clearly.
You can really turn and thrust that knife
he said.
You’d be a good lawyer
he said.
He never did heard me she thought.
He didn’t know how to hear me
she thought.
Then she remembered how he held that knife.
How it felt as he turned it,
thrusted it into her gut.
The pain always kept her small.
This went straight to the heart and brought me to tears. That’s the power of truth-telling. Thank you.
