Victimized she was, in a fight she never asked for.
An unfair fight it was, a fight she lost.

I'm not interested left a young woman overturned, outnumbered and traumatized by the hateful men who never saw her worth.
The hateful man who took away her innocence.
Invading her body with a parasite that turned her into tears.

Alone in the dark feeling like a stranger in her own body
As she traced her fingers across her skin, it too felt strange, filthy, dirty.

To remember was a curse, to forget a blessing.
All she wanted was freedom
Freedom from the demons that haunt her nights.

Normal she looked, with eyes of a frightened, broken girl stealing moments of weakness in the dark all by herself.

Broken and bruised, floating face down in the waters of depression and rejection.
Walking under the light of lampposts seeking protection from the shadows in her mind.

She was...is a woman of virtue
A rare gem
A diamond in the rough and just as tough
She was a victim
She is a survivor
