Common Misconception
it’s frequently misconstrued that when trauma happens, you know it. there’s not a doubt in your mind, no uncertainty of any kind that you’ve become a victim of a terrible crime. it’s easily misunderstood that rape is a violent act, not an event you forget. it should weigh heavy on your shoulders, from the street to the station whilst you ready yourself for a thorough interrogation. it’s a common misconception that one is innocent until proven guilty, not vice versa. this one is tricky, not necessarily untrue but what the public rejects as evidence is usually the truth. surely, you’d remember it? surely, you would’ve been hurt? surely, you should’ve reported it? you’ve left it a bit late now. dug yourself a hole nasty little girl. doesn’t like to lose a fight, needs to play the victim, to satisfy her spite despite being filled in more ways than one despite having it replay in my head every day for months despite knowing after that something was very wrong nothing really clicked until years later on.Featured image legacy
