I Don't Want To Be Like Cinderella

HELP!
I am now a willing victim ensnared in a love trap
Love does not exist
This mantra I live by
And yet somehow I've been captured
Falling prey to his mesmerizing light brown almost hazel eyes
Ugh!
Ladies (and some gents) he has come equipped to intimidate
Arms like pythons
Calves like stones
And his torso ladies and gentlemen
Like God carved it with a toothpick himself
Just because he had the time
He. Looks. Good
But that does not change facts
Love does not exist
No matter how deep his hands plunge into my soul
No matter how many times he swirls his fingers to taste my essence
No matter how smooth his words feel against my lips
Or how gently his sweet nothings caress my skin
Or how tightly he holds me in his arms
It's the safest place in the world to me
Is it the safest place in the world?
Is there a safe place in the world with him?
Can it exist?
Cab we be mutually exclusively beneficially in love?
OH, that the Stockholm syndrome talking
People
He's suffocating me
His promises filling my lungs
I'm suffocating with hope
Hanging on his every word
Could this be real?
No!
Because altruism isn't a thing
Because he must want something right?
And not my heart
Because who wants that tattered bruised organ
And my soul
He'll have to take an IOU
Because I will bargain with Satan himself
To avoid feeling the way I do
Love does not exist
And I have the scars to prove it
But this man
This sadist
Has revived parts of me I thought were dead
Just to crush them again
He'll only hurt me
Love does not exist
Even if he does listen to me
And likes when I ramble
And offers utter protection
And unyielding affection
Oh more Stockholms'
And these are all just actions
Cause love does not exist
Right?

What did the Nazis do to their prisoners in their concentration camps?
In Nazi concentration camps, countless women endured the horrors of sexual violence, often falling victim to repeated rapes by guards and even other prisoners. These dehumanizing acts left scars, both physical and psychological, that haunted survivors long after the camps' liberation. 😭🤬 Starvation was a cruel tool of torment for Nazi camp prisoners, with meager rations of watery soup and scraps of bread barely sustaining life. Emaciated bodies and sunken eyes were constant reminders of the systematic deprivation that ravaged the camps, leaving many to perish in a state of utter despair. 🤢🤮 Unspeakable experiments conducted by the notorious Dr. Josef Mengele and his ilk remain etched in history as some of the darkest chapters of the Holocaust. Prisoners were subjected to horrific procedures, often resulting in excruciating pain, permanent disfigurement, or death. 💉☠️ The psychological torment inflicted on camp inmates was relentless. From verbal abuse and gaslighting to the ever-present threat of violence, prisoners were systematically stripped of their dignity, autonomy, and sense of self. 🔥😔 In the frozen landscape of winter, prisoners were often forced to endure the elements with little to no protection, leading to widespread frostbite, hypothermia, and death. The bitter cold was yet another weapon wielded by the Nazis to break the spirits and bodies of their captives. ❄️💀 The practice of "selections" at camps like Auschwitz was a freaky ritual, with Nazi guards deciding the fate of prisoners with a mere wave of their hands. 👋🏴☠️ Forced labor was a daily reality for many concentration camp prisoners, with long hours of grueling work in factories, quarries, and fields taking a devastating toll on their bodies. The backbreaking labor was designed to extract every ounce of energy and life from the captives. 🥵⛏️ The death marches of 1945 marked a final, desperate chapter in the Nazi campaign of brutality, as prisoners were forced to endure harrowing journeys on foot in the frigid winter weather. Thousands succumbed to exhaustion, exposure, and starvation, their bodies lining the roadsides. 🥶❄️ The gas chambers of Nazi extermination camps like Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec claimed millions of lives in a calculated and systematic campaign of genocide. Innocent men, women, and children were condemned to death simply for being Jewish. 💀🕯️

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.
