I've told my story,
I'm outside the box
Away from the drawer
Which held all the locks!
I've told my story
For the whole world to hear
Of the little girl
Who lived everyday in fear!
I've told my story
Of my struggles to belong
Not really knowing
I was a Survivor all along!
I've told my story
For ittle girls like me
Who thinks its impossible
To survive without family!
I've told my story
And I will continue to repeat
Until Child Abuse Awareness
Is heard on every street!
I've told my story
And the reasons I'm alive
I've told my story
So others, can also Survive!
