#2

It was hard not to acknowledge the wide grin on his face.

It bore into the back of my head everyday but I was afraid.

Afraid to finally come out and say it.

He did this to me.

He made me fearful of the norm.

He made me feel worthless.

He made me see myself in a horrible light.

A darkness overpowered me but now I am here.

I am better than him...right?

As time goes on I become more aware.

But I am still afraid.

My intention was for this to be about a **** victim. I am not one (thank God), but I often think about how much that must weigh on a person.
