Not crazy

 I'm not crazy, I was abused.

I'm not stupid, I was manipulated.

I'm not shy, I'm protecting myself.

I'm not bitter, I'm speaking the truth.

I'm not hanging onto the past, I've been damaged.

I'm not delusional, I lived a nightmare.

I'm not weak, I was trusting.

I'm not giving up, I'm healing.
