r i v e n * trigger warning * It's a burning feeling , so overwhelmingly controlling that keeping it at bay is nearly impossible . It's a rage that runs so deep that trying to contain the inner monster inside me is a feeble attempt . It's haunting , all these thoughts running through my mind . Constantly . Brutally . Overwhelmingly . All at once . I sift my fingers through my hair and lean forward , placing my elbows on my knees and tug on the roots of my hair , harshly . The urge to hunt him down and strangle him with my bare hands is so strong that I squeeze my eyes shut , groaning as I breathe heavily . 'Abused' . 'He'd come to my room at night .' I exhale a long breath through my nose . 'My mom would just stand there , urging him on .' Her soft , shattered voice looms in my mind
