Defeated

Rape Ruins Lives

By: A Survivor Not a Victim
March 23, 2016


Exhaustion, depression, anxiety, tribulation, indignation, and preoccupation is my current state.

For I cower at the thought that I don’t know how much more my soul can take.

Once strong, resilient, and vivacious.

Now, transformed into a defeated faux pas

How long will this semblance persist?

Every breath I take makes me not want to exist.

My body is distressed; it’s toilsome to move.

My mind is wearisome and incompetent, not seeming to improve.

I’m so tired from insufficient sleep that if I can’t attain a proper slumber, I fear what will ensue.

When will this cease, when will I ameliorate, when will I no longer be a woman that I hate?
