I struggle daily The costΒ clearly Someone's else's tragedy in your eyes There's no compassion in your guise When it gets bad as it could ever get You want to know when I'll get over it A once broken victim-blamed My heart's just marked, not maimed The sound of disgust goes unspoken Just know that I'm bent, not broken My body was bruised Another man's abuse Although your disgust isn't fists The stigma is still a direct hit I'm strong enough To know you aren't love No longer helpless and I won't play No matter what I won't stay Looking back I've come too far No longer wounded, I carry warrior's scars.
