Assault me

LP2187


Notice of absence from LP2187
will be gone for a week

You pinned me to the wall

I curled up into a ball

I screamed so loud

You covered my mouth

 

I’m empty with no feeling inside

My blank face like a silent shell

I wish to share my story and confide

But I don’t know who I can tell

 

My trust is gone, ripped away

Torn beneath the surface everyday

Inner turmoil controlling and confining

My sleep and health are declining

 

Please, leave me alone

Sometimes I don’t feel safe at home

Whenever I’m at any place

I just can’t stop seeing your face

 

No, I can’t be scarred

Wasn’t I only caught off guard

It often seems that you’re always near

If only you could disappear

 

But aren’t you my friend

That’s why I didn’t defend

I recoil from your touch

Which makes me hate you so much

 

But you know I don’t mean it

I really like you I must admit

Does that mean you can assault me

I never knew that, sorry

    Understanding can be mistaken, intentions mistaken, character mistaken, we often are fooled by what we thought was but is not. A most interesting and mind provoking write

      Thank you

      That isn’t okay to be treated like that. And no one should be called friend that does that. It’s abuse of the worst kind.

        I know, thank you for your support

        • arqios

          It is not OK and that is not a friend, no one has to put up with abuse of any sort let alone that kind. Powerful, painful, sad and emotionally write, take care

              My girl, you did just share your story... and that fear they caused in you, you're showing them they don't have control anymore. I am so proud of you, this is beautiful, certainly in a sad way, but beautiful because you've decided you won't let them win. They covered your mouth but now you're choosing to scream despite that. You're choosing to open the door, to let people see who this person really is. Most beautiful work, keep rising girl, sending my love.

                Thank you so much for your kindness, I feel so much better (knowing I am heard too). I won't let fear control me, I am very grateful for you.

                  I'm so unbelievably proud of you
