I was so naive back then,
Didn't know what was right or wrong,
I had a gut feeling that I hated but never said a thing,
With each time it happened it got worse and worse,
As time went by I felt so alone,
Stuck, trapped in a cycle of flashbacks,
It's a scary thing to talk about,
Being hurt by someone you cared about,
Not physically but mentally,
Please don't be mad when I tell you my story,
It's a tough thing to comprehend,
A tough thing to accept,
It's been quite a while now,
But the one guy I had trusted turned his back on me,
From being my friend he became my assaulter, my enemy,
I didn't know how to tell you cuz me and him, we were so close,
So I kept my mouth shut,
I couldn't speak,
All I could do was cry myself to sleep,
He was hurting me,
He'd threaten, pressure, and guilt trip me,
It lasted for quite some time before I got a helping hand,
The situation became more serious,
To the point where he wanted sex,
That's when my helping hand came in,
He saved me before it escalated even further,
That's when the threats came to an end,
The things he made me do came to a halt,
I was safe again,
Away from his clutches,
I thought I would be "okay",
But wow was I wrong,
The memories they stick and stay,
The nightmares come almost everyday,
I know I can't survive this way,
That's why I'm telling you this today,
Please help me,
Help me get past my fears and memories,
And bring me once again to the light of day where I can fully say that I'm okay.
