You Broke Me, But I Refuse To Be Your Victim

All the sadness turned to anger and this is my final letter for my own closure.

132
Free

Dear You, again.


I'm not finished with you-

almost like the way you told me to

"hold on"

and how

"it would be okay".

I fucking lost every bit of the sacred, white purity I was born with.

I am not done feeling violated when you got off free- nothing at all.


The drive home was more tempting than usual, having an anxiety disorder and driving made me want to floor it off the road.

I wanted to cry- but I couldn't.

I felt that if I cried, I would succumb to being your victim.

I refuse to be a victim,

Especially yours.

All that night, September 28, I tossed, and I turned- seeing nothing but your face, every direction I turned.


I was so fucking cold - physically and emotionally because all my walls were knocked down by you.

Leaving me so vulnerable,

naked,

and scared.



Trust was a two-way street, but you tried passing me in my red Jeep, knocking my entire life off of my road to recovery that I had so far conquered.

I'm back to square one. I hope you're happy with the way you manipulated my entire being- not just my body but my soul, too. and for that, I will never forgive you.
