**trigger warning : abuse & molestation**
I don't know how to handle confrontation
I don't how people make relationships work
My body has been violated by people I should
Have been able to trust
Bruises marred my fair skin from "accidents"
Like
Being shoved; I mean falling into an end table.
"Walking into doors",
Being dragged out of baths for taking too long
Called a bitch at 7 years old for hating white rice
Because
Only a bitch wouldn't like it regardless of age
My body has been used so I no longer know it's worth
I cave when pressured because fighting isn't worth it.
You fight you get hurt
They get what they want anyways
Fingers probing my insides while I feign sleep praying it will end.
Scars across my heart that nobody can see
So nobody believes they exist
I can't keep going on,
One day you'll read my last poem
Don't mourn for me.
I'll finally be free
