I was accosted last night while in a hospital by an employee. I thought I would be safe there. These are my feelings.
You will not define me
You hurt me
You took an act of kindness
and turned it into
an act of terror
You hurt me
though there are no marks
the memory of your touch
was burned into my flesh
You hurt me
you gave me words of praise
then you used them
to make me less than a person
Still
You will not define me
You have lost
I am strong
I will keep loving
despite your attack
You have lost
I will cry
For the comfort I offered
Was lost in your aggression
You have lost
For I am me
and no one
can take that away
