I Am An Example
Honestly
My dream job is to be spokesperson
As a surivor of sexual child abuse
I believe I have a lot to say
To stand for
And to do
I did not just survive for myself
I survived to be an example for others
As I pursue a career in Film
I will use this as a platform
To help me have the power
The voice
To be heard and to help
I can’t see the road so clearly
But I know that this is my mission in life
I’m not just a victim
I am an example
My determination to live
To never let this dark chapter define who I am
To be that strong, independent person
With a strong will to live
Are among the many things I hope to instill in the little one day
