not living, just simply alive.

by xxlizziexx

to be defined by an assault no person should ever endure. it is more than just physical violation, rape is an assault on your whole being. scars go deep & you don’t understand how to heal from it. saying no didn’t seem to have an effect. the word lost its definition, it is one syllable, a filler word. so now you feel like you no longer have a valuable voice. one worth listening to. you change, that person you were is gone your body is just a shell of who you use to be. you aren’t living, just simply alive.
