THE FIRST TIME

The first time you feel afraid You fuckin leave. GO! RUN! LEAVE! Your nervous system knows before your mind can name it. GO! RUN! LEAVE! Your body sounds the alarm don’t negotiate with danger. The first time he punches a fucking wall— You leave. The first time he screams in your face You leave. He lies, blames you, gaslights you, then refuses accountability You leave. Let’s stop pretending for a second. You already know this. You just haven’t admitted it yet. GO! RUN! LEAVE! That is your nervous system screaming at you at the top of its lungs. GO! RUN! LEAVE! You don’t owe danger another chance. Choose safety. Choose yourself. You leave you fucking leave. The silent treatment. Someone else’s comfort over your pain. He hides where he is, then gets mad when you ask. Cold fucking eyes watching while you cry Shattered. You don’t wait for what comes next. You leave. When you start hiding what’s going on When your body starts breaking down When no doctor can tell you why That is your nervous system screaming: GO! RUN! LEAVE! GO! RUN! LEAVE! My nervous system knew before I could admit it. GO! RUN! LEAVE! I don’t owe danger another minute. I choose my body. I choose my peace. I choose safety. I choose me. I choose safety! I choose me! I choose safety! I choose me! The first time you feel afraid Leave.
