Fight, flight, or freeze.
I froze, you tried to approach me. Why? You sexually abused me. Why the hell would I act like I know you? How the f*** did you recognize me?
I can't believe that you had the audacity to wave and acknowledge me.
I froze because in those few moments that felt like hours I was in fear. I had thoughts that you were going to push me down those stairs or throw me off the balcony.
You probably never think of me and the wrongs you did. I trusted you and you took advantage. I can't seem to sort out feelings from your abuse and it has impacted my teen and adult life greatly.
I pray to the gods that you have never hurt anyone else like you did me.
