I seethe with repressed anger at every thought
Of how I was failed
How purposefully I was taken advantage of

I question everything I do; every emotion I feel
Will I erupt again
Returning the fire that burns me still

Do they know how much celebrations scare me
Do they remember why
Because I have decades worth of flashbacks to bare

I’m not going to say I’m thankful to be here
The truth is
I’m tired of trying to make it through

I wake up every single morning
Full of regret
Wishing I would have had the courage to end it

I write as a means to heal. I hope my words can serve as a reminder, that we are not alone. That we all deserve to be heard and seen. [they/them]
