Because of you, I’m a person who can lend a hand.

I have a heart that can deeply understand.

Because of you, I provide a listening ear.

To those who weep and shed a great tear.

Because of you, I empathize with the broken souls.

The kind hurt so bad they may never again be whole.

Because of you, an open wound, I know how to heal.

I can help those who no longer feel real.

I can be a remedy, because you were an enemy.

People like you exist everywhere.

Forcing your way in, becoming a nightmare.

Because you forced yourself on me,

I’ve learned to live at a different degree.

Those of us who have survived people like you,

We make it through.

Try to start anew.

Over time, we learn to subdue.

We believe one another, all because… of people like you.
