A Willing Trade

I am unique, different and undesirably misunderstood, honestly nobody could fully understand. There are many layers that I hide behind, in my shadow is where I stand. Many assume they know the true depths of me and the unfortunate troubles that I face. No one could last a day in my shoes, not with the horrible things I'm forced to retrace. There's the physical, sexual and emotional abuse, that I have endured over the years. Countless, terrifying images that replay in my mind, bringing me to tears. I would gladly trade it all, even if it's only for a moments rest. The thought of having a whole day of peace, I'm willing to take the test.
