I Am,
I was sexually abused as a child, raped molested, and threaten.
I am not my abuse, am not the shame that was displaced on to me.
I am a survivor and I am a champion.
I am two tigers, I am freedom.
I am love, beauty and joy.
I am free of my pain but not my nightmares.
I am a fighter, and my own hero.
I have been to hell, and I dream of heaven.
I am hope in my dreams and my future,
I am not afraid to speak out. This is a poem about who I am, what has happen to me, this is not for me, but for those who are fearful to speak out- William P. Key
