i remember things i wish i could erase from my skin
it sends me into a panic and "please don't touch me"
i'm sorry i can't handle a joke because it triggers an attack
a sexual molestation that i relive constantly
a responsibility i shouldn't have had
but i shouldn't be affected by it because people have had it worse
i shouldn't show it because others will take my life away
don't talk about it
don't cry
don't be afraid
"i'm better now, it's ok"
