Every 9 seconds an American woman is assaulted or beaten.
How did I survive?
Betrayed by more than just one -
In a time when it was the victim's fault.
Emotional scars that surface
to ensure I never bond or trust.
I love that entertainers want to reveal this ***** secret.
I don't want anyone to have my panic attacks
that triggers asthma attacks
alone with my memories
(desperately searching for my inhaler)
Only me to comfort me
and remind myself
I am safe now.
