gasping for air

trauma feels like you're suffocating sometimes

you can't breathe because of  what happened

the hands that touched you in ways you didn't want still linger

you lay awake with tears rolling down your cheeks and you try to breathe through it but you're just gasping for air

it's terrifying

it happens to me almost every night and i wish i didn't have to feel their hands anymore
