How do we approach a survivor of abuse or assault?
Oh. Simple. Walk slowly and carefully. No sudden movements.
Calm and clear words. No shouting.
Always be on guard, they could freak any moment.
Because what else can peple do?
They don't know our triggers or our fears
It isn't like asking a question goes through their minds
Cause what do you ask a survivor? What is okay or acceptable?
We're all just scared animals aren't we?
That's all people see.
