For yourself

It’s so easy to stand up for yourself

When you finally have the strength

To do so

From someone who brought you down

It takes time

Get back up that latter

That horse

We all fall

But must

Get back up

Don’t let some fool

Take you down

I’m a fighter

So are you

That may feel

The same I did

Trapped…

Until you get the courage to do what’s right

Fight for you

And only you

I’m a survivor of sexual assault
