Perspective

I fell down and curled into fetal position as I knew more hits were coming everyone else voices became like water all I could hear was my crying. Out of the coney of my eye, I see them leaving me, walking out the door, to suffer even more. I close my eyes and wait for the hits, knowing that’ll never end.

The days and weeks pass like a blur until suddenly it’s a normal day and that day feels like a nightmare except every time I think of it my body shakes and I cry all night. Huh I guess it was real after all.

Days and weeks passed like a blur until suddenly it was a normal day. But that day felt like a nightmare, and every time she thought of it, her body shook and he cried all night. It was real after all.
