People would prefer you take your mistreatment in stride
And in silence
They will prioritize their comfort over your healing
Do not allow it
They will applaud your abuser for their "growth"
And criticize your decision making abilities for believing your abuser would not abuse you
Tell your story
Sing it loudly
Shout it proudly
Let your truth be your sword
Let your courage be your shield
Let your strength be your torch
Do not give way
