I am part of this
I am one of you
I understand
We
Together
Have hidden in the shadows for long time
These scarful tales of horror not be seen again
Deep in the abyss
Hauntfull memories dare to rise up
But all too common
It happens again
It continues
Time and time again
To me to you to everyone in this room
To your sister
Your demise
To the teacher who you had so much admiration for
We are told to keep quiet
That they won't listen
We are told to hide in the shadows and the dark
Alone
Shivering, covering, our nightmares come to life
Unwanted touching,
Touching in places you keep dear to her
pain ,
Comments, cat calls
They can never leave you alone
But now the time has come for you to rises
A temor, a murmur
Voices here and there
Faintly at first
But then they become louder
Steadily rising
Their voice a representation of your own
They stand for you at first
It is time for you to be brave
To banish the demons
To join a movement
To speak out
To be free from the darkness
For the first time, you stand with them
Together
Me Too
