Being woken at night with the flick of a light
Hearing his voice
I was filled with fright

His rage so intense
His words burned so deep
Hearing him tell me he will kill me
If I speak

He abused
He hurt
He violated me

The memories, flashbacks, and nightmares
Are still there
I pray this pain will someday go away
No more sorrow or despair

He took my innocents
I will never be the same
How could he do this to me
I hate his little game

He tore out all my beauty
now I’m reclaiming myself, for I am me
I can finally see myself for who I am
I am beautiful.
I am stronger
But most importantly
I AM A SURVIVOIR
