i'll show you the skin
let you take it all in
to erase the memory of him
touching my skin
and photographing to take it all in
before he decided my body belonged to him

i'm not perfect
but i didn't deserve it
and at least my coping mechanisms i get to pick
but tell me how you're perfect
and how you think i deserved it
and revise my story so you can better cherry-pick

-the story is mine and real, no matter how many times you disregard it; trauma doesn't fade because of your ignorance
