Song: This Life Is Mine - Jeff Williams, sung by Casey Williams.
Mirror, can you hear me?
Do I reach you?
Are you even listening?
Can I get through?
There’s a part of me that’s desperate for changes
Tired of being treated like a pawn
But there’s a part of me that stares back from inside the mirror
Part of me that’s scared I might be wrong
That I can’t be strong…
All her life, Raven was beaten down by her parents.
Constantly told that she was worthless, nothing more than a slave for a man.
She was used as a way to get popularity by her parents.
She couldn't say no.
She couldn't fight back.
Because she didn't know how.
Raven resorted to looking at herself in the mirror, telling herself that everything will be ok.
She had no other choice.
It kept her sane.
I’ve been afraid, never standing on my own
I let you be the keeper of my pride
Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own
Listen when I say, I swear it here today
I will not surrender, this life is mine!
It was at the age of 14 when she finally had enough.
They took away her brother, her rock.
They took away every chance of escape.
Raven stopped listening to them. She started to be rebellious, telling everyone in the village the truth about her parents.
At first, they didn't listen.
It wasn't until Raven showed them the bruises.
The ashes.
They listened.
They believed.
They spoke out.
Raven was triumphant in the end, declaring to herself that the life she leads will be her own. No one else will decide for her any longer, she will do it on her own.
Amazing how you conquered me, chained me in servility and made me see
The world the way you told me to
