Broken

This morning i was moved to tears. My son said he had something that he would like to give me to put up onto the Survive website. I wasn't sure what to expect.

My son is now 17, and was the person who found me after i had been raped. He has watched me struggle with flashbacks, he has sat and held me while i have cried. He grew up quickly that day, and i am so proud of him.

He gave me a sheet of paper with the words of a song copied out. Not the whole song, just a verse from it that he thought i would appreciate.

I've been used
been abused, I've been bruised
I've been broken
And i am backed up against the wall
But my will to survive can't be stolen
You can't make me fall.

Broken by Pennywise from the album Full Circle

Maybe he does understand a lot more than i give him credit for..thank you Danny.
