i know the pain you feel,

wishing you could deal.

i know what you're going thru,

cuz i been thru it too.

you feel so alone,

so far away from home.

the feeling of despair,

like nobody cares.

you wanna run and hide

and stay away from the world.

it's like when people look at you,

they know what you been thru,

like they know your secret.

there's no way you can keep it.

you may come off as strong and happy,

but deep down your afraid and fragile.

i know you blame yourself,

you think it's your fault.

but don't think your to blame,

because your NOT.

just keep your head up,

and keep a smile on your face.

forgive, but never forget,

cuz when you forgive

you will be set free

just like a butterfly,

or a bird in the sky.

the demons in your life,

they can't hurt you anymore.

one day you will see

how it feels to be FREE.

This is dedicated to all of the people in the world who know the pain or being raped and sexually abused. I just want you to know that you are all so strong. I want to say that it's NOT your fault in any way, and that it does get better, I promise it does. Just stay positive and don't let ANYTHiNG stop you from being happy.
