[Content Warning] Trauma

The nightmares of this past
- unwanted gropes, assaults,
denial of who I am,
are cycling back,
and I am helpless
anew.

And worst of all
is the betrayal
of those who seek to do
good
- those fools who
assume
I would have enjoyed it,
And those bigots who
wrongly think
they know more than me.
