Hi justbecause05,
Mailice here with a short review!
A very strong text with a serious subject matter. In the beginning, I thought it was a poem and you could certainly adapt it that way.
What I really like is that the story is told from the first-person narrator's point of view, which gives it a much greater impact. Fittingly, you use anaphora very well. With each new sentence, it adds to the drama.
I could probably comment on every single sentence and why your examples seem so authentic and good. So I'll keep it short here.
I've lost my childhood, there's too many memories that make me think it's not worth it to keep breathing.
A very expressive description that deals with the conflict of the person who was sexually abused. This vulnerability that these people have now is so much that they distrust everyone, as you have also described well here.
I've lost my sense of security, and now I don't trust anyone, fearing they want to do what you did to me.
The following sentence gave me a cold shiver when I read it.
I've lost my body that, after feeling your hands roaming over it without mercy, doesn't belong to me anymore.
I feel dirty.
It's only three words, but it's enough, to sum up the text. Even the repetition of the beginning and end seems like a silent cry from someone who is not being heard. I don't know if it was intentional to put the beginning and end in their own paragraphs, but it makes the main text seem much more extreme. I'll try to describe it like this: it seems like an accordion that you pull apart and only one note comes out - this middle text, but at the same time it goes back together and this cry disappears again under all the voices in this world. (I hope that is somehow understandable.

You have an excellent way of maintaining the drama and seriousness and conjure an extraordinary description out of this simply kept text.
Mailice.
