Let me get this straight
We do not want pity
We do not need apologies
We do not care about how you wish you knew
We survived before you reacted
We had nightmares
We suffered post traumatic episodes
We compromised our sanity with instant replays
We held shame
We cried in therapy
And then
We decided to rise
Out of darkness
We decided to believe
In the power of forgiveness
We decided to reveal
Details of rape
Do not define
Who we are
We decided to pray
To set our minds on Spirit
To give us life again
To give us peace again
To live well again.
