I should not have to run through my trauma
Tell you the details of my horrors
Tell you about the abuse or the death threats
Tell you about the numerous assaults
Tell you about the suicide attempts or disorders
Tell you about the medications and addiction
Tell you about the bodies I’ve seen
Tell you about the burdens I’ve taken on
Tell you about the struggles and pain I’ve acquired in these 21 years on this earth
To be respected and treated as a human
To not want to endure bullshit to acquire titles.
You see, the issue was never me
The issue was never that I needed tougher skin
Or that I needed to roll with the punches
Or that I was weak and just couldn’t handle what was being thrown at me
The issue was always you
And that is between you and your maker
Whether you want to grapple with the horrors and trauma you’ve inflicted on others, it is not my concern
But you can’t run from the consequences forever
And so be it God, they’ll catch you soon enough.
