《how the words come》emotional abuse (TW)

do you remember
the first time you yelled at me?
when you blamed me for something i didn't do.
it felt like every sentence was wrapping itself around my throat.
like each word was a fist slamming into my jaw.
your apology the next day was an ice pack.
your lips were stitches on an open wound.
but each time the letters sunk in a little deeper.
the phantom blood dripped from the gashes a little longer.
sometimes, i wished
you would have just struck me.
at least then,
the bruises would have
shown.
at least then,
somebody might have
noticed.

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?
