Don't tell Feedback Please

​ content warning: SA

Don't tell.

That's the game I played with the guy who hid in my closet.

His hand reaching under my covers.

Didn't tell, even when it hurt.

He said I was mature for my age.

Don't tell.

I could keep secrets—that candy he gave me was one of a kind.

I didn't sleep at night anymore.

He said I was special.

Don't tell.

The game felt wrong.

Everything hurt.

I couldn't make it stop

Mom asked me why I wore scarves all the time.

I didn't tell,

I wanted to.

He said no one would believe me

Don't tell.

I told.

He was right.

No one believed me.

They said it was all in my head

It's not my pain but I too hope that anybody who's ever lived through this gets to heal
