All Alone
All my friends are around him
However...who is "him"?
"Him" refers to the abuser
The one who broke me
The one who destroyed me
The one who triggers my desire to die
I am tempted to say, no shout, "HEY. YOU ARE ALL TALKING TO AN ABUSER!"
But there is no point
There is no point because he is popular
There is no point because he is well known
There is no point because he has a good reputation
Such that when I speak....they will say
"You must have asked for it because your pretty"
"No way he could do that! He is so kind and funny"
"Are you sure your not lying? Maybe you shouldn't be our friend anymore"
I know they will say this because it has happened to me
Nobody believes you when the abuser is popular
But they always pay attention when you die
By then it's always too late
But hey, you will get the last laugh
Cause while they live with the guilt of victim blaming
You win because you finally escaped the pain
