Too Close to Know

Casey
Some people know it all

Others just won't comment

The ones closest to you have it the hardest

They just don't understand

As hard as they try they cannot

You cannot understand something like this

Something you've never even come close to

Especially when you're a man

It's difficult to picture being forcefully held by anyone

Much less being trapped and beaten without being able to fight back

Having your own life and those of your family threatened

It's different when you're two hundred pounds and six foot two

Way unlike a buck ten against two hundred pounds of absolute psychotic

He cannot comprehend the fear

The humiliation, the dreams, the attacks

You can't imagine what it's like to be thrown from a moving truck until it happens

    What Janet said. You're right about us guys not being able to fully grasp what you've been through. You can still win.

    Casey, I know you are battling these demons but they don't have to control you. I'm not just saying that, I've done it. Hang in there, and get help if you need it...
