I Cringe
You are the reason I cringe when I tie a scarf around my neck, I cringe whenever I hear a loud thud across the road, I cringe when Mama Bella screams' permeates the walls of my bedroom, You are the reason I cringe when my salonist mistakenly pulls my hair, I cringe whenever I see an incoming call, I cringe whenever a new WhatsApp message pops-up from an unknown number, You are the reason I cringe when I think of the person I have become, I cringe whenever I touch my hand stump, I cringe whenever I recall how you sliced my hand, I can’t stop cringing at the "perfect" picture of our union, I cringe whenever I think about shedding off my old self, I am reminded of all the scars you left me,
