I was 17 when it happened
I trusten them
It was going well
Until it wasn't
And a fun day with a friend became a nightmare
They invited me over
To play on their xbox and watch tv
But watching tv became perverse
Their hand drifted towards me
And became an uninvited guest that I never wanted
It all went too fast, too unknwn too wrong
I became a stranger in my own skin
No longer aware of what was happening
Like a passenger on a ride
Watching my own body a few feet away
It was suffocating the corruption of what he did to me
Years later i still remember his body on top of mine
And the smell of sweat is still **** in my nose
And i try to distract myself from the uncontrollable shaking that i can't stop
But all I can think about is his hands on my throat
And the fear that still lingers today.
Till this day i have never spoken of this
But today I have immortalised the day that I wish to forget.
im sorry im so so sorry

Each secret inside is a life
Each life that gets pushed down
To fatall residence trapped inside
More thoughts will compensate
Enough of each life lost inside you
And secret’s glaze to death
Each fear emerges a reality
Each attack becomes a losing battle
Each cut translates a voice unheard
Each drop of blood a request for relief
Each tear shed at night is feeling none
Each long-sleeve shirt unknwn armor
Each hidden scar a failed escape
Each secret chained to a wall of fear
Each spoken secret is a translated scar
Each man with your secret is a gun to your thoughts
Each friend can never help enough
Each pain in your heart a black hole
Each secret only embargo, never die
Enough restriction and death emerges privilege
This is my perspective on self harm
