I am
I am not a punch bag
I am not yours to do as you like
I am not some dirty cloth to throw on the floor
I am not just another person to be abused
I have feelings
I have a heart
I have a body that cries
I have eyes, even if they don’t show the tears
I feel the fear sometimes
I feel the sadness of a life unlived
I feel the pain I never speak of
I feel the beating of a broken heart
I wish I could turn back time
I wish life could make more sense
I wish you would view me different
I wish you could hear me
I hope for hope
I hope for peace
I hope for love
I hope for mercy.
I am me
I am her
I am that person
I am
