I feel so lost
I wanna cry
But I can't
I wish I could scream
Let out all my rage
But I can't
I hold it in
But 14 years of trauma is a lot
I'm trynna be cool 'bout it
But I'm getting desperate
Taking wrong turns
Hurting myself
Bleeding at night
But I don't cry
I just let the pain flow
I wish I could speak
But my mouth is paralyzed
My mind whispers & talks what can't be said out loud
It's driving me crazy not to speak
To not express myself
To say that I hate myself
& anyone who abused of me
Who treated me like an object of pleasure
That I can't love anymore
That I'm too afraid to show emotion
I can't stop bleeding
I can't tell you what I'm doing
But my skin shows it
I'm scattered
I find myself lost in the darkest places
Maybe one day I'll escape
But for now, i'm stuck
For now, I can't anymore
I'm sorry

I know how it feels to be abused. Been for less years of my life than yours. I have a similar story though. Hang in there and stay strong.
thnx
'It's driving me crazy not to speak
To not express myself'
this is where Poesy's true value
is actualised, in our everyday
we lucky few
have access to a patient heart
with an infinite legacy of listening
to our laments and offering us
a platform to express ourselves
and transmute our hurt, into art...
stay strong!
thanks for sharing, dear poet
