You said you'd never hurt me and for a while, I was okay. I wasn't good, I wasn't bad. I was alive and that's all I needed. But now, I'm hurting. I realize that sometimes repression isn't always my best skill because our memory is the cruelest skill God has given us. I remember the pain, the feeling of not enough oxygen, the tightness in my chest, the bloodshot eyes. I remember. I'm scared he'll do that to me too. I'm scared to be alone, but I'm scared to drive him away. I drove you away. You said you'd never hurt me. You never said you wouldn't hurt my mind.

You said you'd never hurt me and for a while, I was okay. I wasn't good, I wasn't bad. I was alive and that's all I needed. But now, I'm hurting. I realize that sometimes repression isn't always my best skill because our memory is the cruelest skill God has given us. I remember the pain, the feeling of not enough oxygen, the tightness in my chest, the bloodshot eyes. I remember. I'm scared he'll do that to me too. I'm scared to be alone, but I'm scared to drive him away. I drove you away. You said you'd never hurt me. You never said you wouldn't hurt my mind.
