i never thought it would happen to me.
it was something that i just heard in the news
i always said "it won't be me"
that night you took a part of me
and you crushed it with your hands as your fingers wrapped around my throat
i said i would always be careful
but i let my guard down
i thought i was safe
but i guess i was wrong
i cry and wonder why
why would you do what you did?
is it something i said? was it something i did?
why me?
you left me broken and hurt
bleeding and bruised
i hate the way you made me feel
disgusted in my own skin
you did this to me
you destroyed a part of my soul
crushed it into fine pieces and blew it into the wind
its an icy pain that chills me to my bones
making my stomach quake
nights im awaken with fear
praying and wishing my mother were here
but i take a deep breath and realize
i am more than just my tears
i am worth more than what you did
i am a woman who is overcoming
someone who isn't afraid to share her story
in hopes that one maybe
nobody will have to feel the same pain
