I wrote them down.

The words that have haunted me.

The thing I wake up screaming too.

I feel so unsafe.

I’m so paranoid. With everything.

I can’t shake it from my memories, I can’t stop my mind from spinning.

how he used me.

And I wasn’t awake to stop it..

It’s burning me from the inside out.

But I said those two words. Out loud.

And with many tears in my eyes and a blade in my hand...

I wrote them on my body.

Now they will remind me of my reality.
