You know what’s the worst thing about abuse?
You think everyone is gonna hurt you like your abuser.
Everyone is gonna hit you like your abuser.
Everyone is gonna belittle you like your abuser.
Everyone thinks you’re a burden like your abuser.
Everyone is gonna yell at you like your abuser.
And that’s why you still flinch when someone raises their hand.
Overthink when someone doesn’t reply to you.
Panic when someone’s voice tone changes.
You see your abuser is everyone’s eyes.
