Smile for me princess.

The words haunted me over and over again. Repetitively, a never ending cycle. Over and over and over.

Smile for me princess.

The same four words. Those are the same four words that destroyed my life.

I could feel the metal chains, wrapped around every limb. I couldn't move. He hit me. The many scars I had were from him.

Help me

I couldn't scream. I tried so hard but I couldn't. The tape covering my mouth and the tears streaming down my face.

Don't you want a pretty picture?

I was exposed. Alone. Just me and him. My bare body was stuck in these same four walls. The chains dug into my wrists, breaking the skin.

I was numb. I couldn't feel anything anymore. He came onto me and I couldn't do anything.

The countless times I had been raped. I was only thirteen.

The camera flashes were all I could see through my tear filled eyes.

This is all my fault.

***

My eyes shot open and my lungs inhaled any air I could. My heart was pounding so loud I could hear it. I grasped the sheets with tears streaming down my face.

I stumbled trying to reach the patio door.

I need the sky

I gasped for air, trying to control myself. I couldn't take this anymore. Every time I feel better it comes back to haunt me even harder.

"This is all my fault.. this is all my fault.. this is all my fault" I repeated the words to myself knowing they were true. I was stupid. I did this to myself.

As my breathing started to control itself, I let the tears run silently. I couldn't think, every moment was running through my mind

Little splices of flashbacks haunted me.

"You fucking brat, you are going to pay for this" He screamed and threw a hammer at me

He hurt me so bad, it was all my fault and now I'm like this.

It had been awhile since I had a moment this bad. I could tell they got worse when I was stressed. The last week and a half since I got my new job has been beyond stressful. Trying to get everything together and finish old work.
