TW: sexual assault!!!
learning to recover from what you did,
was like a really bad shower,
the hot water scarred my skin,
the same way you scarred my mind,
and when i tried to turn it cold,
it left my body trembling and vulnerable,
the same way you did after you un consensually fucked it.
the shampoo burnt my eyes,
the same way you left them traumatised,
and no matter how hard i scrubbed my skin,
i couldn't wash away your dirty fingerprints,
and the eternal marks they left on my untouched body.
each drop of water tracing down my skin,
like the way your nails danced down my sides,
it was almost like i began to choke on the water,
because when i screamed for help,
nobody heard me.
interpretation:
describing the long term effects sexual assault can have on a person.
