Survivor
I call myself a survivor because I hate the term victim
at least I claim I do
Lately I’ve been doubting whether or not that’s true
Most days I’m in survival,barely surviving,not yet a survivor,anything but her
Most days victim is the proper term,nothing more than the aftermath of another persons actions.
Today my mother said that for the first time in over a year she saw me and remembered that I am still here,
That I am not him
That there is more to my existence than victim
That is only because lately I have stayed quiet,shut the fuck up and been a good girl
Just Like he said
Does my silence belong to me?
Or Is it also his?
