Why couldn't i move?
I fell asleep on the bus ride home accidentally on the arm of a batch mate who seemingly considered me his sister.
My sleep stirred as I felt a touch on my chest , groggily i told myself i must've imagined it .
But that touch came again, firmer this time, shocking me to my core . I still couldn't convince myself to open my eyes. It couldn't be true.
That touch CAME AGAIN, firmer still, this time i knew it was true, but my flight or fight failed me. I sat there frozen. I couldn't breathe, i couldn't look.
How could he?
How could i let that happen?
Why couldn't i move?
I knew him.
We weren't alone.
There were people there.
Why couldn't i move?
Why couldn't i scream?
Why couldn't i hit him?
Why couldn't i push him away?
Why couldn't i make him stop?
Why did i make me so helpless?
What gave him the power?
Was i too nice to him that day?
Was it my fault?
Why couldn't i move?
