I Survived
By Shawan L. Dortch

Molested, not trusted
Misunderstood, no justice.
I survived
Teenage mother out on the streets
Depressed, no placed to sleep.
I survived
Followed, chased
Beaten and raped.
I survived
Sick near death
no energy left.
I survived
Life was hard
though it seemed.
Never giving up on my dreams.
I survived.
