It happened again.
I was doing so good
About avoiding it too.
I thought I had removed

All the people who
Would do it to me.
I didn’t.
I never will.

I’m up on Mountain's Peak
Alone, but that is me.
He comes to wish me well,
Relieve me of my past
Keep me on Mountain's Peak
Happiest I’ve ever been.

I thought he’d stay long
And we’d have more fun
But he was like the others.

He wanted me submerged
again. They always do.
He tried to push me off
Into the bottomless ocean.

The one I almost drowned in
Just a few months ago.

I’m not on Mountain's Peak.
I’m still in that ocean.
I’m out of oxygen.
I’m out of life.

I didn’t send him the
Videos my abuser
Forced me to make.

I’ve become stronger.

But not strong enough
To swim.
