Contest entry. It does take courage to make a change, but it's worth it.
New Me

I am not a victim anymore.
I will walk down the streets
As a proud individual who is not
Unseen like a ghost.
The world will not put me
In a box with unwanted trash
The shell I lived in was left
At the corner of lies and despair
Today I wear my badge of
Innocence with strength and pride
Passersby have nothing to fear
From me or my countenance.
I am not a victim anymore,
Because I am a strong, new woman.
