Eight - Safe

I am not safe anymore.
And it's not solely because
Of these demons inside me
It the demons surrounding me

I tell myself to stay away.
Don't turn your back
Don't bend over
But every second I can still feel staring eyes burning

I wish someone would listen.
But apparently my being uncomfortable is the problem, rather than the actions that made me feel this way.

I can remember me before 10 -
Or rather, what was real
Yet I still have this feeling
This disgusting, dirty, unimaginable feeling
That young me was hurt
In a way no child should be

I don't know what to think.
Am I safe or am I not?
