It happened in a moment,
Something I couldn’t stop.
In that instant, my world broke,
From the pain of that awful shock.
I was left with pieces to pick,
Alone, hurt, and lost.
Carrying a weight so heavy,
Feeling like everything was my fault.
I didn’t know who to tell,
Or if anyone would care.
Would they think it was my fault?
Would they judge me, would they stare?
Shame wrapped around me tightly,
A secret I couldn’t hide.
The memory haunted my thoughts,
And all I wanted was to cry.
But this is my story,
And I won’t stay quiet.
I’m more than what happened to me,
I’ll rise above, I’ll fight it.
They took something from me,
But they didn’t take my heart.
I’m still here, still breathing,
And I’m healing, part by part.
Some days are still hard,
Sometimes I still cry.
But I refuse to let this break me,
I’m learning to hold my head high.
To anyone who’s been through this,
I know your pain, I see your tears.
But you are not broken forever,
And your worth will always be clear.
What happened wasn’t your fault,
You didn’t deserve that pain.
Your body, your mind, your soul,
None of it belongs to their shame.
Some days will feel heavy,
The hurt will be hard to carry.
But you’re stronger than you think,
And there are people who will help you, truly.
Take time to heal at your pace,
There’s no rush, no need to hurry.
You’re allowed to feel, allowed to cry,
You don’t have to bury your worry.
I won’t let the past control me,
I’m taking back my life.
I survived, I’m surviving,
And I will thrive despite the strife.
This body is mine,
And I claim it with pride.
They tried to break me,
But I stand tall, unbroken inside.
I survived, and so will you,
Because we’re more than what was done.
Our spirits may be scarred,
But our journey has just begun.
You are strong, brave, and full of light,
No one can take that away.
So rise, dear survivor,
We’ll find hope again someday.
