Imagine This
Or don’t, if it adds to your pain
TW: rape, suicide.
Imagine being outside, on a beautiful day, and having a group of boys rape you. Imagine you’re only 15 or maybe 14.
Imagine thinking about suicide for the next 50 years because you thought it was your fault.
Imagine being a child and wondering if the world would be better off without you.
Imagine thinking that at 15 or maybe younger.
Imagine having the man you love, kick you down some stairs and then kick you again in the stomach, as you lay on the floor, protecting the baby you might be carrying.
Imagine being glad you weren’t pregnant after all.
Imagine the next man abandoning you and the child you did have together. Imagine him waltzing off with another woman, while you pick up the pieces.
Imagine your child thinking it was her fault.
Imagine watching your daughter as another man abandons your family.
Imagine now it is your grandchild who is in pain.
Imagine this is such a familiar family story that it’s just another Tuesday.
Imagine you're a woman.
