How do they expect me to be ok
When under the same roof I stay
As my users and abusers
And yet my smile continues to fade
Day by day I relive this horror
Trapped in the same bed
Stuck in the same room
Where my hell all began
And yet they expect me to be ok
To go on living my life
Step by step day by day
While they are all ok
I have to deal with anxiety and nightmares
The kind I don't have to close my eyes to see
And yet its all to real to me
Why must I
How could they
Why me
Do they even care
Or dare to remember
Are the questions echoing in my head
When will I be free
When can I finally say I'm ok
When will these nightmares fade
Are the words screaming from my heart
When under the same roof I stay
As my users and abusers
And yet my smile continues to fade
Day by day I relive this horror
Trapped in the same bed
Stuck in the same room
Where my hell all began
And yet they expect me to be ok
To go on living my life
Step by step day by day
While they are all ok
I have to deal with anxiety and nightmares
The kind I don't have to close my eyes to see
And yet its all to real to me
Why must I
How could they
Why me
Do they even care
Or dare to remember
Are the questions echoing in my head
When will I be free
When can I finally say I'm ok
When will these nightmares fade
Are the words screaming from my heart

Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
I know it isn't easy, but the simple fact is you will never be ok while you wait for them to set you free. They won't do it. Ever. No matter how much you want it, no matter what you try.
The only person who can set you free is you.
Sorry if this is hard and blunt, but I don't know a better way to put it at the moment.
