Not there anymore
March 6, 2023
I’m not there anymore
I’m not being abused anymore
But I can feel and remember everything
I get flashbacks
I get nightmares
But I’m in a better place now
The pain is there but I’m better now
I can’t hurt because my brain tells me I can’t
I keep telling myself I shouldn’t be in pain
Because if I’m not there then how could I be hurting?
My friends still go through sh*t
I want to help them but I can’t
I feel like I can’t tell them what I go through
Not because they’re not there
But because I feel like it’s not important
It hurts but I can’t talk about it
Instead, I drown myself in my feelings
Pick up my outlet and reach the sky
Might not be healthy but it helps me escape
It should be easier but I don’t help myself
