My Story


Dear you,

I cannot bear to say your name. 

You haunt me, you live within the walls around me

you once lived within me, while I was dying. 

Why me?

You taught me so many things about myself that night.

You degraded me, you took what was mine, what I tried to protect. 

Was it my clothes? Was it our twelve-year friendship?

You killed me, you killed the life in me, and I think you were happy about that

but now I stand stronger than ever. 

You gave me a reason to start loving myself because you took all that I had away.

You proceeded to pass me around

as if my moment of you mutilating me was a playing card. 

When everyone left me, and accomplished you for your actions

was alone. 

But, do not worry, the nightmare I faced because of you blew life and justice into me

I fear your actions

I fear another girl losing her life and this time forever.

I will never let you touch another life. 

 

I am stronger because you broke me,

A.C
