| I lay there, battered and bruised A shattered crystal
 Too quickly dropped, too late caught
 Yet you smiled and had your way
 I kicked and fought but
 You held me down and said:
 “It’ll be over soon”
 I despised you
 You broke me.
 
 …and this remains a familiar story
 I hear so often and say
 That is not my life,
 No monster will have his way
 I am strong and not weak and
 No person will break me
 
 So as a tribute to the weak
 Their story I must speak
 Their pain I shall relate
 
 Ye of the weak, take heed
 Be not afraid,
 For you are not alone
 Recognition to you today I give
 For being strong and able to live
 Bearing the anguish of being broken.
