When my MST happened,
I did not believe that I was
worthy of getting any treatment.
When my MST happened
and for a decade-and-a-half later,
I felt that I was responsible.
I felt that it was my fault that the assault happened.
If I would've worn a different pair of shorts.
If I would have said something different.
If I would have been somewhere else,
it wouldn't have happened to me.
I didn't realize that I deserved help.
I didn't realize that I had enough value
that anyone would want to help me.
It wasn't stigma, it was the self-negative talk.
