I am...


I am Strong

I fight for myself

I am my only protection

I cannot rely on others

 

I am a warrior

Wounded in battle

Never to be the same again

 

The voices

They attack me in my sleep

Just leave me be, let me be me

I beg and I Plead

Never to be heard, never to be seen

 

I was bullied, in every form

Never to be left alone

Broken and bruised by many

 

I am a strong warrior

I stand up for myself

I won't allow myself to be knocked down

Not now not ever

Never shall I fall to their knees

Never shall they succeed.
