"You Wanted It, Though"

There are faces swimming in your vision Memories you'd much rather forget Nightmares in the daytime Tears you always regret They taunt you with their freedom The injustice of reality That they have used you, abused you With disgusting brutality Is it so bad to want justice? The beautiful catharsis of "Yes this happened" "Yes it won't go away; not immediately" "Yes it wasn't your fault" "No you didn't deserve it" You were a child and your innocence was taken You were a teen and your youth was stolen You aren't to blame and you don't deserve this To have friends so repulsed And family so revolted When even strangers seem to turn their backs And their words will always reverberate In your being, in your mind And no matter how much you scrub Their filth never seems to come off And you're weak because it hurts That's what they tell you But the incident is so potent You can never seem to forget The scars are not visible But you still feel them there Gaping and bleeding and festering This isn't you You are unbreakable Unshakable The strongest being in the world You are not: "They're not going to believe you" "You know you wanted it" "I love you" You are unbreakable Unshakable You are amazing Strong Unforgiving integrity You are a survivor
