I am a woman. I've never felt safe around men. I hate crowded places because of what a man did to me. Too close behind me touching me when I didn't want it. At the age of 10 I was first assaulted by a boy. I remember the day and its completely haunting to me. The first time and it wasn't the last. But that first time made me so scared. Overtime it happened more with different man. And I remember each time. It plays over and over when I start thinking about how women and even little girls aren't safe in this fucked up world. Why can't we be? We are people too. I just want to feel safe when I'm going out for a walk or just going to the grocery store. I remember every time I feel uncomfortable around a men. Its something I wish I would forget but can't so it haunts me. I've lost sleep and time in my life thinking about these things. I don't talk about it anyone. I have but I never bring it up again because how people respond. So I don't bring it up even though I want to talk about. I can't stop thinking about those people. I knew there names when it happened. I know everything. But I don't want too. Why do I have to carry this burden? Why do I have to? I hate everything thats apart of this world. Its a terrible place.
