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........
