She grew up in a house full of secrets
& sadness, tragedies hidden from view,
She had a habitually drunken father, &
faced horrific, terrible abuse
Going all the way back to the age of two,
but she’s a fighter, a hard & gritty survivor
& now she stands for others who’ve struggled
with the same things that she’s been through
