What would I change?EVERYTHING.



What would I change?

EVERYTHING.

People don't know the truth,

nobody knows anyone better than themselves.

I was abused as a child.

It hurts.

Not many people know.

It is the only thing I have carried with me since I was six.

I don't want children to go through it.

so I would change it.

I don't know how;

I don't know.

BUT I do know that it has got to happen.

If society all came together we could accomplish this goal.

do the unthinkable, conquer the worst.

make sure children can be just that, children.

for every one out there being abused;

it's not your fault

things will get better

I care

WE care.
