1 Your life feels broken
They make you sad
They make you mad
It’s hard to get up
2 Why do they touch you?
Why do they hurt you?
All the time saying
You won’t be anything
3 Adults watch for it
Adults listen for it
But when you’re forced to be silent!
Forced out of sight!
The ones sworn to protect you
Can’t save you
4 The ones closest to you
The ones you let see you
All hurting you with no remorse
Making you wish to be gone
5 They say no one will believe you
No one will keep you
Everyone will be ashamed
You’ll get abandoned
Thrown away
Just trash in its place
6 They tell you to hold on
Walk straight
But you just want to leave
Cause leaving means death
7 We try to move on
Forget the heartbreak
Someone has it worse
But we’re so weak
8 The broken pieces
Lost in space
We want to be fixed
Not replaced
9 We want to move on
Forget our past
But when they call you a monster
The thoughts come back
10 Who wants to see the real me?
Broken, shattered
All worn out
So glad the darkness hides me
11 Back to fighting
Ready for dying
See my scars all over me

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is about how broken i am and how no one could stop the sexual harassment from happening to me. I don't want anyone to go through that and I want people to read this and see that I know how they feel. That they aren't alone.
