They took pieces of me with them
One by one they chipped some part of me
The didn't even realize what they were doing
They split my heart open and they grasped it with their violent hands
They exposed me
I was no longer a human to them
They took away my ability to feel
They though they could shut my mouth
But I spoke out
I survived their attack
I gained my strength
I stood in front of the crowd and I told my truth
I stand with my brothers and sisters who have fallen victim to violent hands like theirs
We survived
And we will not stop fighting
To the men, women, and children who have lived this reality... I stand for you and I stand with you. You're strength and bravery is not unnoticed. Your story will not be forgotten. To everyone reading this, predators must be brought to light and must be punished for the pain and trauma they have caused we must end this. They will not take our voice.
