My body is cracking from the pain I have swallowed so Many times, heaving with sobs I can no longer suppress, my dignity dissolving in my tears, the agony of these past few days ripping my skin to shreds.

About This Quote

Your body is not something that should be used as a tool. When you are being abused, it is your body that is being used against you. It’s your body that is suffering because of the actions of another person. The person hurting you will do everything they can to make you feel as though your body is not your own.

You are prohibited from expressing any emotion that might hurt their feelings or break their control over you. This quote refers to the physical pain of being beaten, punched, slapped, and otherwise mistreated by someone else.
