Violation Poems

Power

You can’t steal my joy,
You can’t close my openness,
You can’t diminish the trust I feel,
My violation stands only to destroy you.

I am the one with the power,
I am the one who loves and laughs and hurts,
I am the one who will always see the best,
You will not destroy me.

Power

You can’t steal my joy,
You can’t close my openness,
You can’t diminish the trust I feel,
My violation stands only to destroy you.

I am the one with the power,
I am the one who loves and laughs and hurts,
I am the one who will always see the best,
You will not destroy me.
