Here's to the girls
Who are mirrors ,
Shattered and broken.
Reflections of abuse
Vulgur words.
Disrespect.
Here's to the girls
Who believe they are nothing
Because they were told they were nothing
By him.
Here's to girls who don't believe in love
Because of the bruises on their mothers face
Perfectly painted in shades of blue and black
By him.
Here's to you , in pieces , with hope as useful as a broken birds wing .
Here's to you ,still surviving.
Here's to you , undoubtedly ,
Strong.
