This is so raw and emotional, I have no words. The line that hit me most was the question of "Can't my mind just be for me and not the ugly trauma of non-informed consent?". Having to relive trauma, try to process it and maybe have it expected of us to move on or work through it, when it visits our mind constantly and we see reminders everywhere. I thought the comment on unpacking and what that meant was astute as well. Someone can completely shatter our sense of safety, security and trust... then we are left to pick up all the pieces and try to heal from their actions.

This is a heart wrenching poem of pain and fear, each line just gripped me with tension. An emotional write...

Congrats on the win.
