Get out of my head.

Poem
Written By Liliana “Lili” Leos

[Content Warning: Assault]

To the man that took a piece of my soul.

Why?

A question I will never have answered but think of so often…

For so long I wanted to die because of what you did but I can’t let you take that much of me.

For so long I blamed myself even though I was unconscious.

For so long I wondered when I would feel less repulsive.

Less fragile.

More myself again.

Sadly I still don’t feel like myself.

I long for the days I used to sleep like a Koala because I didn’t feel anxious that someone would touch me.

I long for the day I trust people not to let me down like so many did when they saw what was happening.

I no longer long for the days of wanting you dead I now just wish your memory would leave my heart.

My mind.

Shit, My soul.

6 years

3,155,695.2 minutes

Ive let you plague my thoughts.

No more.
