(TW ****** abuse, suicide) My body comes with a trigger warning, to see me naked no longer means the same thing. I'm ugly. Scarred, Both emotionally and physically. I need help, but I don't know how to reach out. My voice has been silenced by one too many men, controlling, abusing, ruining. Recently, the emotional pain I had been rejecting when I remembered my **** hit me all at once. I couldn't breath, I couldn't see, I couldn't feel anything except, well, suddenly, the knot that never disappears from my chest grew. Minutely at first, then it became more confident. It knew it was taking over my body: my arms and legs and feet and fingers went paralytic, all I could hear was a ringing noise, raging in my ears. Sometimes, I mix *** with death. Both seem like the ending to me. I'll fantasise about being dressed up for *** I'll slide downstairs and seductively choose my lover. I'll debate over men, women and everyone else in between and outside, but I know from the beginning which I'll choose. I'll slink over to the knives and select the biggest and baddest I own. I won't shake, I won't back down. I can feel it sliding between the layers of my skin as we speak now, I can feel my body weakening. I'm so tired, my friends. I've spent so many years fighting back and now all I want to do is sleep, forever.

This isn't even really a poem, I just wanted to scream.
