A List Of Things I'd Like To Forget
- those things you said
- what I saw that night when he was so incredibly inebriated
- the sting of a cheek after a palm makes lightning-fast contact with it
- waking up too early
- falling asleep too late
- not wanting to wake up
- being too scared to fall asleep
- the nervous churning of my stomach, all day, every day
- anxiety literally coursing through my veins and causing my entire body to tremble like a leaf in the wind
- "bitch"
- "you piece of shit"
- the sound of a door slamming
- feeling like I'll never get out of here
- feeling like even when I do get out of here, I'll never truly be free
- having to reassure myself I've done nothing wrong, so there's no need to be so scared
- the long nights that seem to be an endless stream of yelling
- all the times I've felt like leaving everything and everyone
