Flashback. Now.
He’s licking me. I hate that. His whiskers rub against me and make me sore. It gets all red and hurts to pee for the next couple of days.
I hurt myself now at this thought. I hit myself. I hate myself.
I don’t want this out there, but I’m having trouble staying in the present and no one is awake right now.
So I write.
He… He..
I can’t do this. I can’t just write it. I need.. someone. I need someone.
-And so I move this from an entry in I am Living, to an email. I don’t even know to whom yet-
He puts his fingers inside of me. First one, then another. The second hurts and I realize it’s because he is stretching me open.
I know why, and I hate myself. I know what’s coming.
“Doesn’t that feel good?” he’s asking. I hate his voice like this.
I want to scream, “NO”, or at least shake my head, but I’m too scared to move; to breathe.
I want him to stop.
I WANT HIM TO STOP.
I know he won’t.
I keep stopping, digging my nails into my head & telling myself I can’t write this out.
I honestly don’t know what else to do.
No one is awake. If I don’t get it out I will go there.
I don’t want to go there.
I can’t do this. I can’t write any more of this out.
And there’s no one I can stand to know about this anyway.
-So I move it back to wordpress. Hold my breath & hit “publish’
No rereading it 15 times for errors, because I’ll just delete it.

I think you are so brave. Just wanted you to know. You are like the survivor of the most brutal war, torture, you name it. I think it’s good that you are letting all the awful flashbacks out so that you can fully live the life you were meant to live.

I just read this for the first time since I hit the publish button, and I feel very ashamed. :-/
