In the depths of my despair, I must say I am hurting
I won't deny the pain, the wounds that are still burning
For too long I've kept quiet, pushed my feelings to the side
But now I must speak out, I can no longer hideTo those who've stolen my innocence, who've taken so much from me
I won't stay silent any longer, I will set my spirit free
To the woman who used me, who took pleasure in my pain
I hate you for what you did, the scars that still remainTo the men who took advantage, who used my body without care
I hate you for the violation, the sense of betrayal I bear
To the woman who should have protected, who let me down so deep
I am disappointed in your actions, the wounds that are still steepMy siblings left me behind, while I stayed and endured
Countless moves, multiple schools, my childhood obscured
But through it all, I have found strength, I have learned to fight
To overcome the challenges, to stand up for what is rightDepression has plagued me, a constant battle in my mind
But I refuse to let it win, I will leave it behind
The tribulations I've faced, the hardships I've known
Have shaped me into who I am, my resilience has grownFor every trial, every obstacle, every tear that I've shed
I have emerged stronger, wiser, with a clear head
Our lord has prepared me for this moment, this epic fight
I will not back down, I will stand tall in the lightSo to those who have hurt me, who have caused me pain
I forgive you, I release you, I will not remain
In the darkness of my past, in the shadows of my fears
I will rise above it all, I will conquer my tearsI am a warrior, a survivor, a beacon of hope
I will not be defined by the struggles I've coped
I am a force to be reckoned with, a phoenix reborn
I will soar to new heights, I will proudly adornThis is my letter, my declaration, my testament of might
I am no longer a victim, I am a warrior of light
I will not be silenced, I will not be tamed
I am fierce, I am strong, I am unashamed.© Copyright © 2024 ~ Mickiaella Dasilva
