A Tapestry of Traumas

by Carbon6_dio

This isn't my body. She stripped me of that right when she touched me. This vessel I possess is proof that maternity can cruelly switch to molestation, and how disheartening the world can become once you meet its evils. Brutality in the act is only half of it though, the rest is trying to cope with the loss of your own skin. Not a body, just a brain weighed down by pounds of flesh that became property to an abuser six years ago. I rarely feel human anymore, and that's if I ever did to begin with. I am a thing. A thing designed to make other people happy, even if my own health, mental or physical, is compromised in the process. The process, an activity ranging from starvation to downright sexual abuse. I used to starve sometimes for this woman just so I'd be praised, just so I'd feel worthy of living. Losing sleep, losing my fucking mind, all for her to facetiously downplay the traumas she consistently constructed. Carefully orchestrated, a symphony of horrors frequent to my mind, my body.. She stole my own life from me. A part of me remains within her, and that sadly, is what hurts the most.

Notes

My mother sexually abused me when I was 12, and then when I was 16. It is those parts of my life that I hate the most.
