A
I've
tried
to
push
it
out
of
my
mind,
but
it
was
so
heavy
I
didn't
talk
and
I
didn't
need.
I,
didn't
sleep,
I
didn't
interact
with
anyone
after
work,
I
would
drive
to
a
secluded
place
to
scream
I.
Didn't
talk,
I
didn't
need,
I,
didn't
sleep,
I
didn't
interact
with
anyone
and
I
became
isolated
from
the
ones
I
loved
most
for
one
week
after
the
incident.
