The easiest thing to do, is to lay down and not fight. The easiest thing is to close your eyes and pretend it’s not happening. Pants around your ankles, screams being muffled by his heavy arm you continue to kick, you continue to scream, you bite. He lets go. You run, pants still around your ankles. That’s bravery. Not allowing the heavy pressure to cause you to give up. That’s bravery, continuing to run even at your most vulnerable. Bravery is standing up and continuing to fight when threats abound. Bravery is fighting for all the girls who can’t find their voice. Bravery is you. Bravery is anyone who has fought this monster and won.
