I Was Robbed In Tower City

I stupidly had a craving for a banana nut muffin and coca cola at 5:00am. When I was about to go get a muffin some lady begged me for something. Instead I said no she watched me glaring. Another person game in asking for a black and mild cigar and jacked my wallet and all it's contents jolting the scene with the shopkeeper looking dumbfounded.

I was robbed yesterday morning at 5:00 am on the dote apparently in the investigation Detective Don has done. I was craving a banana nut muffin, and coca cola. When I think about a government section Social Worker job something I am degree seeking my thoughts are naive. I dreaded writing this article because it feels like I am exposing feelings I don't know if I'm ready to share. I wish I could forget this I really do. I thought by speaking to my mother in-law it would help me feel not so victimized it was opposite. Something else to deal with in therapy I should share the city of Cleveland for my emotional scars. But what would that do? I thought I wanted justice. But what would that do? I want my life back I want to not feel like a victim. I want to stop feeling like shit.

The thief didn't just take away my wallet he took away my dignity, and made me feel I don't matter. I'm worth nothing I would rather take from you then care. I posted on my experience on YouTube someone left me a comment "your ignorant."

I feel like I'm just done with the disrespect, and since Cleveland is a lawless, and justice lacking city I want to to protect myself. I found a taser on Amazon a green one for 9.99. I purchased it, then cancelled it. Just wasn't in the budget this month.

I have extreme PTSD I wonder what is the next step to extreme PTSD hype PTSD. It's exhausting feeling like this. Forcing myself to write this words isn't easy to do. I'm feeling so angry, I wish I could stop feeling like I have no control, powerless.

Forcing words out it's easy for me, every time I'm out of my apartment I'm hyper vigilant. I'm scared and worse of all sometimes I think people can smell fear.

What makes things hard? I don't know how my husband feels about all this. I'm in a bad state of mind. Feel like I don't see anything clearly.

I feel upset that in my society my voice doesn't matter. When I live in a city that's pretty much all ghetto I learned something very power a voice isn't the most powerful. If no one cares then I will make someone else care.

I just wonder if there are different versations of bullying. If so I have witnessed it all. I have been robbed two against one isn't fair. I have been bullied last semester for staying quiet. I been called out on streets not even hearing them because I had my Bluetooth in my hears. It's scary for me to speak up because my voice isn't heard. It's an honest emotion to feel frozen.

Feeling this emotion is like freezing in fear, it's almost like being petrified. Everything moves in slow motion, I knew it's going to happen. The fear of not knowing if I'm going to survive, or is this a joke.

I just don't know how to move past this. I feel so angry right now, partly because I'm in the student Cafeteria and trying to ignore Katherine who keeps using the term Scholarship kid. I feel annoyed but ignoring her is the best thing to do.

I just want to be remember who I am. I feel like a lame horse who has broken after being whipped into submission. I just don't know I want to feel powerful again. But right now I'm just going through the motions. I wish sometimes I wasn't Emily Aurelien because I don't feel powerful right now. I know this is repetitive but I feel like this.
