“I'm not crazy, I was abused.
I'm not shy, I'm protecting myself.
I'm not bitter, I'm speaking the truth.
I'm not hanging onto the past, I've been damaged. I'm not delusional, I lived a nightmare.

I'm not alone. I see you all here.
I'm fighting this.”

No one else can decide
What your tough looks like.”
