Bullying
A word
That's forever etched
In my mind.
For
I don't need anyone
To tell me
What it means
To be bullied.
As I struggle
With my recovery
After decades
Of bullying.
From chronic depression
Various anxiety disorders
Suicidal thoughts
Agoraphobia
And PTSD.
Which
Is worsen
By being trans.
In doubling
My odds
Over the general population.
For suffering
Depression anxiety
Compulsive behaviour
(like self-harming)
And PTSD.
Would give anything
To never have experience
Night terrors
Or PTSD flashbacks
In my sleep.
As I'm plagued
By chronic insomnia
To the point.
A good night is
Having five hours
Of uninterrupted
Sleep.
Welcome
To my world.
