Defy Gravity!

To every abused child:

For the fear and the loneliness
For the too-early knowledge of darkness
For the shame that should not be yours
For the screams that no one heard

I hear you
I acknowledge your agony
And I am so very, very sorry

I wish for you:

Freedom!
From the pain
From the memories
From all the ugliness
And the heavy burdens you still carry

Release
Let go
Fly away
Defy Gravity!

You are not to blame
