Red Bracelets
I never thought my red bracelets would go away.
You know, the matching necklace set he gave me?
I didn't like them… at all.
The morning of December 12th, 2016.
He gave me the gift I had never wanted.
If I would've known, I wouldn't have meet him.
The unwanted kissing and touching.
The unwanted looks and aggressiveness.
I was so shocked.
He was like a brother.
Although I knew he liked me,
I never thought that would be his gift.
Adding onto my PTSD
Rape? Check.
Sexual assault? Check
Oh and the questions..
“Why did you go up there?”
“You knew he liked you”
He was honest to me before
I told him to stop
I know it's my fault
It is, isn't it?
At least, that's what that girl told me
And that woman, an adult
“You have to press charges”
Why?
School.
“Haha okay”
Laughing?
My principal.
“We can't go forward”
I give up.
He gets away with it.
Just like millions before,
I was failed
By justice, trust and judgement

This is deep. Thanks for sharing, it must have been hard to do so. Thanks again and welcome to DUP!

I'm in awe of your courage and strength in this Morgan. The 'red bracelets' were instantly evocative of what you'd had to go through. I'm so angered by the things people have said to you, and what you've had to go through. Keep writing :)

Very deep and painful. Embrace the bad times you have experienced in life and use them to fuel your writing and push it into bigger and greater things. That is what I have done with my writing, it comes from the pain and struggles I have gone though and it pushes me to be my best. I encourage you to keep writing, keep pushing yourself to get better and never lose your edge.
