Talking through trauma and PTSD

Running

Running

"Behind every strong person is a story that gave them no choice"

My life is all about a lack of choice.

I'm alive because death would've outed him, it would have sealed his fate in prison.

TW: cultic, rape, trafficking, torture

I'm the daughter of a Satanist...

One trained to breed...

One pregnant at 6 years old...

One prostituted to whoever could afford her...

The girl her dad didn't want...

One men hired to have fun with...

One men experimented with...

One who was tortured for speaking up...

One trained for the sole purpose to please her buyer...

Regardless of age...

Still though...

One who never stayed silent...

One who broke free... twice...

One who rose up...

One who seeks to prove them wrong...

One who has been running for 15 years...

One who just needs to feel heard...

One who went through hell and survived...

That this Phoenix can rise...

She will not be burned...

She's proven that...

I have proven that...

I'm 35 and 90% of those I've been in prolonged abusive situations insufficient evidence for prosecution

A system that protects the abuser more than the survivor

And yet I still try

I don't try for me, I try for the ones after me, the ones like me, that they will see their justice

But for now I run...

From a dad that wants me silenced...

From the nightmares that plague my sleep...

From the memories that invade my mind...

From the choices made for me...

Didn't expect that to come out as poetic as it did

Re: Running

@avant-garde sure thing, do you have something blue near you that you can describe to me in detail?

@rav3n

I called blue knot, we talked a bit about jigsaw puzzles and I cried a lot.

Re: Running

@avant-garde i'm glad you reached out to them, do you feel a lil more grounded after that?

out of curiousity, did you call blue knot because that was your 'something blue' or was that just a mere coincidence?

Re: Running

@rav3n

No, I actually didn't realise you had chosen a specific colour, my eyes glazed over that word

Yes I did feel more grounded and validated after talking to them

I I I had a... well... friend...

She came over this morning to help me sort out my place... said she said I I I shouldn't have to do this on my own...

it it it felt like she disapproved of my defences... my safety net... like throwing a kid in the ocean and saying swim before they're even taught...

It'll be good to write the whole thing out, something I keep trying to do.

I sung in front of my church tonight... yep that happened... terrifying as it was apparently nobody noticed me shaking
