Cycle of Abuse

 

I'm a survivor.

One of many.

A warrior.

If I may.

 

Been made to feel small.

Not caught when we fall.

But now we stand tall.

Or so we should.

 

I'm a survivor.

One of many.

A warrior.

If I may.

 

Though it ain't that easy,

To shelve responsibility.

To free the guilt,

The shame and blame.

 

I'm a survivor.

One of many.

A warrior.

If I may.

 

Of course,

I'm strong.

I didn't do no wrong.

I must remember that song.

 

I'm a survivor.

One of many.

A warrior.

If I may.
