I am. I am not.

I am a woman of many layers and emotions.
I am not singularly or entirely what has happened in my past.

I am someone who endured sexual assaults and abuses.
I am not victim-- I am no one's victim unless I allow myself to be.

I am a person with many emotions, beliefs, and dreams.
I am not a person who only sees through the lens of my abuse.

I am someone who tries to cling to the truth at all costs, often great costs.
I am not someone that wants to lie to myself in order to be able to live with myself. Whom in the world will I ever truly know if I don't get to really know myself-- ugly truths and all?

I am a hurting and broken person from all that has happened in my life.
I am not someone willing to just accept my brokeness and not seek to be whole.

I am someone placed in an untenable position in life.
I am not someone who will cease to grow in many other directions.

I am me.
I am not _____'s victim.
