This couldn’t be more true
Everyone tries to understand you
Like it’s a easy thing to do
No matter what it is
ED
sexual assault
Emotional
Sexual
and physical abuse
That’s just my story
But yours could be similar too
It’s not just one thing or the other
This video may be revolving around just one
But the lyrics go so much deeper than that
And people around you
Always want to help
But usually always
With bandaid words
Or things like
“Pick your head up, your fine”
“you need to eat more”
“you’re not treating your body with respect” “you need to take care of yourself better”
“That is in the past, time to move on”
“Are you not giving it to God”
“Are you sure that’s what happened”
“Build a bridge and get over it”
Or they try to twist your words to make it seem better or okay
I say no
It’s time to take a stand
And speak up
We are women
We are proud of it
Our journey
Our story
May be different
And hard and heavy
But it’s the story and journey
That made me and you the way we are
So let’s stand against those critics
And commenters
We are strong
We are beautiful
And we will stand as a unit with our fellow ladies
To console
And be there for one another
Because I don’t care
If it’s been 20 years since it happened
Or
20 weeks or 20 days
There are triggers
There are moments
And there are memories
That can come back up
Even when we fought the battle
and Concurred it
So always remember
Weather you know the full story
or think you do
It can always be deeper than that
And you don’t understand what it’s like
TRUTHFULLY
Unless you went through it exactly like me
Plus even if you did, this doesn’t mean it’s the same
So choose love
Honesty
And care
Because this journey for the recoverer
Is filled with hills and valleys
Some hidden and some shown
But always for the one recovering
Unpredictable and unaware
We thank you in advance for trying to help
It’s just not always
Fine and dandy
Or easy in fact
To truly cheer up after any kind of pep talk
With the memory videos flooding back
in our minds on constant replay
We’re trying our best to just remain focus on the talk
And to show love
*So please remember this, if you love someone or know of someone who has some kind of battle they face and take no hard feelings to it either, we mean no harm.
This is me!
