Rape: A Story of Empowerment

I made this video to help cope with the aftermath of sexual assault, to empower survivors to keep going on, and show the world the ugly aftermath of Rape. My only hope is that it helps someone to know if anything that they are not alone, and do not have to be bound by what happened to them.


I can't close my eyes because I see your face
Flashbacks of memories I can't erase
You ripped me apart
Took away my choice
Forever I'm tormented by the sound of your voice
Do you realize what you have done me?
Look in my eyes
What do you see?
Not a day goes by when I don't think of you
All the pain you put me through
I cry and cry for no reason at all
I can't let go of the anger
I have become a stranger
The naïve girl is gone away
And I'm a different person everyday
Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I down
I feel so lost I can't be found
I don't know how I am supposed to feel
What in this world is fake or real
Who is a liar and who really cares
Sometimes it's more than I can bear
Look at me
Don't turn away
See what I've become
And know that's it all because you
But also know that I will make it through
You thought you destroyed me
And made me a slave
A puppet that will always behave
But I'm stronger than you
And you cannot win
You gave me the power
To live again
And though tomorrow seems far away
I will continue to fight anyway
You thought you broke me
You thought you won
You thought I was all done
But really if you look and see
All you did was help me to become
a stronger, better me
