I overcame
drinking, drugs, sex, popularity
all the things I wanted that I thought would take me far after high school
as my grades dropped my social status went up
as my social status increased so did the number of parties I went to
the lies I told to my parents became more and more elaborate
and then the unthinkable happened
every girl has been warned about this from day one
"it'll never happen to me"
"they're my best friends"
you may think you ruined me
you may think you stripped me of my dignity
but you only made me stronger
because of what you did to me you made me get my shit together
you may have forced me for your own pleasure
but you only made me stronger
so I thank you
because if you hadnt hurt me like you did
I would never have learned how to overcome
because of you I am able to overcome
