a dream of mine
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

i had a dream last night,

i was alone holding my teddy tight
walking in the park
which is nearby to my house,
everyone cheery and happy,
suddenly my hand was grabbed
by an old man
around the age of 70s
with a scary grin on face
and his touch, apace,
i screamed and begged
"let my hand go"
but all in vain,
everything turned dark and scary,
his grip so tight,
bruising my skin,
my voice was then shrieking and tired
my wet cheeks were no more wet,
my eyes were all dry and burning from crying,
my lungs seemed to almost collapse,
my heart was beating it's last,
that's when i woke up in profuse sweat,
trying to catch my breath
and calm myself down.

a dream,
left me hysteric,
and now that i think of it,
will i ever be able to hold anyone's hand
without reminding myself of the past?
will i ever be able to touch the person i love
without getting triggered?
will i ever be normal?
will i?

p.s: A lot of people go through childhood trauma, girls mostly through sexual abuse.
some come out of it with unbreakable will and some, stuck in the past like the butterfly in the spider's web, still fighting for it's existence!
