Summary

What if the wind was a knife? Swooshing around Slicing invisible cuts Inside you, right through you Everyday What appears to be a breeze to everyone else is lethal for you Thousands of invisible cuts Countless invisible cuts No one can understand They ask, “What’s the matter?” Because they can’t see you bleeding That same wind that circles you like a hitman Transforms into a calming breeze in others’ presence It’s like waking up to the barrel of a gun With heavy invisible bullets that never leave a mark Not even a scratch of proof of their crimes Sometimes the wind is strong And sometimes it’s barely there When it’s gone for a while It hits you with even more brute force when it returns It knocks you off your feet You’re always bracing yourself For the next gust It feels inevitable And unstoppable Like you’re incapable Like even the strongest walls can’t keep you from this wind This is emotional abuse The wind and me This is a public episode.
