SexiChica88's blog: "MY PERSONAL COLLECTION ALL BY ME"

WE'RE WALKING A JOURNEY TO DISCOVER WHO WE ARE

WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO AND YET WE'VE COME SO FAR

A CHILD, VICTIM, PRISONER, SLAVE

BEATEN, BROKEN, SCARRED, AND IN PAIN

LOVERS, FIGHTERS, MOTHERS, FRIENDS

CHRISTIANS, SISTERS, HEALING WOMEN

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH

WE'VE BEEN HURT AND SCARED

WE'VE CRIED AND LAUGHED, HIDDEN AND SHARED

APART WE WERE SILENT, NOW TOGETHER WE FEEL

SOCIETY DEFINES US BY THE MONEY WE EARN

AND SCHOLARS DEFINE US BY HOW MUCH WE LEARN

LOBBYISTS DEFINE US BY THE BOOKS WE BURN

AND MOST FRIENDS DEFINE US BY HOW MUCH WE SERVE

WE'RE NOT SOME STATISTICS JUST STUCK ON A PAGE

WE'RE NOT TO BE DEFINED BY THE MONEY WE NAME

WE'RE NO LONGER VICTIMS, PRISONERS, OR SLAVES

WE'RE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THAT BEING ABUSED WAS OK

WE'RE FINDING WHO WE ARE, WE'RE REACHING INSIDE

WE'RE DISCOVERING TRUTH, WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE

WE'RE INDEPENDENT AND STRONG, YET HUMBLE AND MEEK

WE'RE BEAUTIFUL AND KIND, WE'RE HOPEFUL AND FREE

AS YOU LOOK AT ME AND I LOOK AT YOU

RIGHT IN FRONT OF US ALL, WE HAVE LIVING PROOF

THERE'S NOTHING THAT MONEY CAN BUY

ON FREEDOM, HOPES, AND DREAMS WE ALL FLY

BY FINDING WHO WE ARE, AND LEARNING HOW TO FEEL

TOGETHER WE HOPE, TOGETHER WE'LL HEAL

(this was written by me a few years back. For those of you that don't know what i've been through I was a rape/child molestation victim. I am a survivor of abuse of sexual, physical, and emotional. I know that what I went through isn't right but I am a strong independent woman and NOTHING anyone can do can hurt me. I will continue to heal and be who I am and NO ONE can change me)

Thank you for reading.
