tw: implications of r*pe.
i need time to clear my head.
i need to breathe.
i need to get away.
i wish the thought of being alone wasn't so scary.
i wish the thought of being with people wasn't so scary.
i wish i wasn't so paranoid about seeing your face everywhere.
i'm constantly looking over my shoulder.
i'm always peeking around corners.
i can't sleep because i see your face in my dreams, which i suppose makes them nightmares because all you did was bring me pain.
i was doing so well by myself and then you came and shattered every wall i had built up.
in a split second.
i took a nap.
god i was so tired all i needed was a simple little nap.
but you decided that i couldn't nap and took it as a sign to force yourself on me.
i wasn't even awake.
i woke up to you holding me down and i couldn't move.
why?
why did you do that?
why did you feel the need to bring me pain?
fuck what did i ever do to you?
why me?
was it because i was there?
did you know i was asleep?
you must have, there's no way you couldn't have known.
i can't fall asleep.
i'm so fucking scared you're going to show up the second i close my eyes and it's so stupid that i can't fall asleep in the safety of my room.
i lock the door every night but that still doesn't stop the fear.
i stayed awake for almost a week after it happened because i was terrified.
i was in so much pain, did you know that?
it took me days for it to be comfortable sitting.
did you know i cried the entire drive home?
did you know that i can't sleep through the night anymore?
did you know that i woke up screaming for months?
did you know that i had to start sleeping in my sisters' room because i got scared to sleep in my room by myself?
did you know i see you everywhere, or at least i think i do?
someone who looked like you came into my job a week or so after it happened and i had to hide in the bathroom.
i thought you'd found me and you were going to hurt me again.
i cried that day.
i haven't felt clean since then.
i always feel dirty.
why did you do that?
i don't want to know.
i just want to feel like myself again.
i hate you so much.
i wish you nothing but the worst and i truly mean that.
i hope you rot in hell.
