You never see this struggle
Because I’m never there for you to see
You never see this struggle
Because it has torn me away from you
This all began
Because I chose to be
The girl I’ve always been
Caring way too much
The “guilded turd in the community punchbowl”
Left me retching in the corner
Left me not wanting to hit or be hit
Left me not wanting… anything
In the “day world,”
Far from the dark velvet of your world
I was promised a step forward
But instead was shoved sideways
Even today, in the day world
I continue to be beaten down
This isn’t physical
And this isn’t consensual
Days go by, weeks, months…
No marks and no sparks
The first night I try to return
And it’s like I’m not really there
Because I’m not the girl you remember
I’m not her anymore, but that’s all you see
And not acknowledging the attempts at change
Contributes to the weight of the sand
Just know that there is a struggle here
That you can’t possibly understand
Because you aren’t here
And it keeps me from being there
I may have a rope to pull me out
Let’s hope this one doesn’t break
