Her


Her The Anniversary of What Started Everything My name is kimmy and i was raped at the age of 3 it has taken me 29 years of my life for those 13 words to escape my hollow mouth the only questions i come to now is why? why lock me in that room why take everything from me my innocence my purity Most of all my childhood I’m my own room where i trusted you the night terrors i have to this day still haunt my mind like a never ending drive in movie that plays over and over only the moon in the night sky isnt made to be found here there is no light in these terrors i cant sleep this time of year because every time i do I see you in that room locking the door shutting the windows undressing me yelling at me every single night i close my eyes it has taken me 27 years to accept the fact that i was taken by you i have been numb ever since left in the dust rotting away at the core thinking i was nothing thinking i deserved nothing because you took everything but not anymore i will recover from this i am strong enough i believe in myself i believe in my own happiness and i promsie that when i have children one day i will never ever let them rot at the core i will find happiness the darkness will not take over this time
