Still...

It’s been ten years. I can’t believe it, still affects me, still think about it everyday. Still haunts me, Still grateful for what wasn’t. Still jump when I think I see…… Still waiting to feel safe, safe finally safe.

Ten years ago I wrote this to make since of it. I may never be able to do that, but it helped……

Eyes
It's like I'm that fourteen year old girl naive and innocent.
I've never grown up.
Time stopped at the violence you imposed.
Some say I've changed I've just grown inside myself.
I've seen the anger of the world through you eyes.
But I was not scared.
I just sat there knowing it wasn't your anger.
You said my eyes stopped you.
You said they reminded you of an angel's.
May you always see my eyes, the next time you think to harm another.
