I survived

Folder: 
story of my life

You tried to kill me
you tried to take me down
no matter what you did, it didn't faze me
because I'm still around.

I didn't let you break me
I didn't let you control my mind
thats right, you didn't get to me
I did it, I survived.

You will never find me
I'm not afraid, I won't hide
but I will never let you see
how strong I am inside.

I am stronger now without you
I don't need anyone for me to rely
thats right, I don't need you
because I survived.

Smiles,! whether you realize this or not!

This is a RALLY CRY for all abuse victims. In your self built strength you unknowingly rise up to let others not yet as strong in themselves to see what true victory looks like. I applaud you for your poem and for the faith in self that you have attained as well as the much deserved realization that you have every right to others respect always. To speak more at a street level. YOU GO GIRL!.......................Sincerely Melissa Lundeen
