I thought I was safe I thought I was protected I thought I was strong I thought I was capable I thought that no one could hurt me more than I’d already been hurt But I was wrong
“Don’t fight it” They said “Look at the ******” They said “SHE’s crying” They said
But even after The world said, “You asked for it” And “What did you expect” Because “You didn’t fight them off”
Everything you said Made me lose more than I had already lost
I was never safe I was never protected I was never strong I was never capable Because everything I did Was wrong.
