empty


CONTAINS SEXUAL MATERIAL THAT MAY TRIGGER SOME PEOPLE

PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS WHEN YOU READ THIS

Im not dead

I just feel empty

all emotions drained

reasons for trying

dying

 

these empty brown eyes

wanting someone to understand

silently screaming

wanting to take charge of my life

 

trying to believe my body is mine

willing myelf to get up

the energy just not there

 

too tired for tears

wanting to only feel safe

but not wanting to be touched

 

to never have another penis enter me

to not allow another person touch my vagina

that doesn't have one themselves

 

rape is not apart of my story

but it mght as well have been

I will get past all of this

it will be in my past

 

left in this town

these wounds to never be shown

to keep them down

to never appear again

 

I feel empty

devoid of anything

not enveloped in self-pity

just tired

 

Im just tired........

You show so much strength by just sharing this. Your body is yours, and no one's else. In today's world they will try to make you think it's not, but they don't define not control you. You rise above them, set your own boundaries, chase off those who refuse to respect them. You're so much more than what's happened to you, you're strong.

This is part of healing There are many outlets to express yourself It takes courage, it takes boldness You are clean, you are purify The bible states vengeance is mine said The Lord You forgive and move forward Well said & thank you for sharing
