I want you to know that, since that day, I've never been the same,
Through the years, I've felt frightened, lonely, and ashamed,
I've hidden behind a mask for so many years,
Afraid people wouldn't understand, and hiding my tears,
When you invade our bodies, it leaves a scar for life,
The pain it leaves is deep, and cuts through us like a knife,
I've hidden the truth for so very long,
And you've made everyday a struggle, just to go on,
NO child should have to experience a life time of pain,
It took many years to realize, that, I was not to blame,
It was YOU and YOU alone, who did this to me,
And now I must heal myself, and set myself free,
I am here to tell you that, I speak for us all,
That one day soon, we WILL break down the wall,
We will all unite and stand together,
To stop YOU and help the children, for now and forever!
