So much happens in one moment... So many people are raped, molested, murdered, suffering fates worse than death... It makes some of us hide; Retreat intoa dark room, doors locked, windows and blinds shut, lights off, fan on, as we stare into a softly glowing monitor. Slowly the world seems to fade and fade, as we forget what it's like, making up different worlds for ourselves, disregarded as idiots with no grasp on reality. Beginning to lose ourselves, minds falling and falling into a swirling mist...
Just afraid to face it again. Forgetting the good parts, no matter how hard they may be to find. There is light in the world. Never forget that. No matter what others may say, trying to drag you down with them, keep focused on that light...
I wrote this when I was reading a thread by a girl who had been sexually harrassed earlier and is feeling like she's a complete slut. It was amazing the number of people who replied who have gone through the same and much worse. Attempted rape and actual rape. Apparently if you weren't actuallly raped the police can't even do anything, or at least that's hwat happened to one of the girls who replied...
Even worse is that some people came in there telling her that she's a stupid little twit for feeling bad about it and that she should just ******** off...
Yeah, I know the world is full of assholes (*coughcough* *raises hand*) but that still doesn't make it easier to see them hurting people on a regular basis. I don't know. Go ahead and call me a naive twit now. Doubt I'll be listening. neutral
